We want to make sure that your new phone is personalized to your standards, PennyPowers! We can work to change the caller ID or if you are not too attached to it the phone number can be changed. Both of the these processes can be completed via http://www.vzw.com/myverizon, through "My Device" settings, in Shared Name ID and a mobile number change.

Thank you,

I'm not positive about this, but I think you can log into MyAccount on Verizon, and go to Change Features...

Scroll down and find "Share Name ID".

I don't think it costs anything and would allow you to set the Name you want to appear on other devices. If you'd rather it just say "Wireless Caller" then I think you chat or call Verizon Support and tell them to reset it for the phone number you have... or perhaps you go in and set it to Wireless Caller.
