Does my name pop up when calling a new number?

I Will keep it short and sweet,


My friend just purchased a new iphone, and gave me his new number so that I could change the contact. As the number is new, and technically both phones have never called each other before, if I call it, will my number pop up on his new phone as unknown, or will my name be seen so he can recognize me?


If I pop up as unkown, does that mean that he would have to manually put in a name associated with that number?


Just to clear up some confusion, he had a samnsung before, and is now switching over to Apple. Thus, there is no way to transfer the numbers from Apple ID. Also, I could not find anything on Google, hence why I am asking here.


Thanks for the help!

  1. The person receiving your call needs to store your name on their contact list
  2. Here's what gets transferred: contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, and calendars. If they're available on both Google Play and the App Store, some of your free apps will also transfer. After the transfer completes, you can download any free apps that were matched from the App Store.

Your number will appear on his phone, but just the number unless your number has not changed and it is still in his contact list (which can be transferred from his Android phone). Then your name will appear. However, if he taps the i next to the number in the Recents list one of the options will be to save it to a new or an existing contact.
