Sometimes places call me and it already has their info despite them not being a contact I have saved. Like they have a name not a number, and even a pfp that isn’t a colored circle with a number or letter in it. If I was lost and got a call from the fire department that said it was the fire department I think I might pick up.
I don’t know how that system works tho. Do you have to register somewhere? Like the opposite of the old white pages where you had to opt out instead of in?
That’s not what they’re talking about. Some people/businesses have a “smart” caller ID so the business name shows up instead of their number, even if you’ve never heard of or been contacted by them before.

Caller ID has been around since the 80s.

That’s up to your service provider.
