Why Caller ID Can Look Different
What the person you call sees is called Caller ID.
With VoIP calls, the caller ID can change because the call travels through multiple telecom networks before reaching the receiver.
Because of this, the receiver may see:
Your registered phone number
“Anonymous” or “Private Number”
A generic or routing number
This behavior is normal for VoIP calls and does not mean your number is incorrect or compromised.
Anonymous Calling (Hidden Caller ID)
If Anonymous Calling is enabled:
The receiver may see “Anonymous” or “Private Number”
In some countries, hidden caller IDs are replaced with a system or placeholder number
Platform differences
Android: Anonymous calling is supported
iOS: Anonymous calling is not supported due to operating system restrictions
These limitations are set by the operating system and cannot be changed by Talk360.
Country & Telecom Restrictions
In some regions, such as India or parts of the Middle East, caller ID may be hidden or replaced due to local telecom regulations.
As a result:
Caller ID may be hidden or replaced
Some calls may be rejected if the ID is not accepted
These rules are enforced by local telecom providers and are outside Talk360’s control.
Important to Know
Caller ID behavior depends on routing, device settings, and local telecom rules
Talk360 cannot force a specific caller ID to be shown
Hidden or anonymous numbers are more likely to be blocked by recipients
