Edit Share Name ID

Here's how to edit how your name displays on someone else's Caller ID via the My Verizon website or app.
Share Name ID changes or updates can't be completed if you currently have another account change pending.
  • Verizon can't guarantee the Share Name ID displays on all outgoing calls because:
    • Other carriers may not support it.
    • If the phone number is already programmed into the call recipient's phone with a name, Share Name ID can't override that name to display what was programmed on My Verizon.
  • Share Name ID info displays when calling another carrier that is using the service.
    If the Share Name ID isn't showing up correctly after an update request has been completed, the person receiving the call may need to contact their service provider for support.
  • Share Name ID can only be managed by the Account Owner or Account Manager lines.
