OUTGOING CALLER ID

[5bits]

I signed up with Verizon a few months ago.  When I call a party who has a service provider other than Verizon, my caller ID shows up as someone else.  Many people that I call will not pick up the phone if they do not recognize the number and if they do not have messaging, I cannot let them know.

I called customer support and was told that it was not a Verizon problem, but that it was the service provider of the person I am calling and that person would have to call their service provider and ask them to update their records.  This makes absolutely no sense, what with all the other service providers out there. Most of my calls are out of state, so I cannot just jump in the car and tell someone.  I had another provider, prior to choosing Verizon and I never had a problem with my caller ID showing up.  Looks like I may have to switch if what I was told is correct.
