Manually selecting a CallerID for a single call
Whenever you are about to make a call in the Spoke Phone app, you will be shown what number will be used as your CallerID. You can change the number to be used as your CallerID before you make the call, simply by tapping on the number and selecting a different number/CallerID.
Additional information
- When returning an inbound call from your call history, Spoke Phone will automatically use whichever of your numbers the caller originally dialed, as the outbound CallerID for your return call.
- Note: If the caller originally dialed a number that cannot be used as Caller D (i.e. Australian 1300/1800 numbers) then your default CallerID will be used.
- In Australia, it is illegal to use 13/1300/1800 numbers as outbound CallerID. Any calls using these numbers as CallerID will not connect.
