Caller ID & Privacy

Control the number recipients see when you make outbound calls with 2talk. Learn how to display your own number, use another account number, or block your caller ID.

Caller ID & Privacy controls which phone number recipients see when you make outbound calls from a 2talk number. You can display the number you are calling from, choose another number on your account, or block your caller ID.

Caller ID Options

Choose how your outbound caller ID appears to recipients:

  • A number on my account: Display another phone number from your 2talk account as your outbound caller ID.
  • My number: Display the phone number you are calling from.
  • Block my number: Hide your caller ID on outgoing calls.

The number you present may also affect the caller ID name recipients see. This depends on carrier lookup behavior and the configuration of the number.

Change Caller ID & Privacy Settings

Follow these steps to update your caller ID preferences:

  1. Log in to your 2talk account.
  2. Go to Left Panel > Numbers.
  3. Select the phone number you want to configure.
  4. Navigate to Outbound > Caller ID & Privacy.
  5. Select the caller ID option you want to use.
  6. Click Save to apply your changes.

Optional Announcement

You can enable an announcement that plays when you make an outbound call using shortcodes such as *65 or *67.

This announcement is useful if you switch between displaying your caller ID and blocking it, as it helps confirm which caller ID setting is being used.
