No Caller ID for Incoming Calls

[makaylea]

My Zoom phone has stopped showing the name of the person who is calling and instead just says "For (my name)" and shows their number. How do I go back to seeing the name of the caller so I can avoid people? 😅

hi @makaylea 

Zoom Phone uses an external service to determine the caller ID name of external phone numbers.

If the caller ID name of an external phone number is not displaying correctly, contact the third-party carrier or service provider to update the caller ID name for that number.

Note: If the external phone number is in your synced contacts, Zoom Phone displays the display name of the synced contact instead of the caller ID name. See our article about incoming call notifications for more information.

Hi Eliot,

Thanks for all of that information. I'm just confused on why suddenly the name of an inbound caller isn't showing up when it had been showing previously. Why does the ID just say "For (my name)" now and not give the name of the person calling? I don't think I need to reach out to any third party entity, as this seems to have just happened. Is there not a setting within Zoom that can fix this?
