The SIM Card I now have in my iPhone was previously used in my (Android) Tablet. Now whenever I use the iPhone to make a call it comes up on the receiving phone as the name of the Tablet that the SIM Card was previously in. Is there any way I can change the name that comes up on the receiving mobile etc to e.g iPhone Pro Max?
Thanks
Here is what I think is going on with that SIM card:
You had a cellular service plan for a tablet from your carrier. Your carrier assigns the caller ID to your account / phone number. Your iPhone does NOT assign the caller name to the device. You then switched the SIM card to your iPhone. When you make a call using that SIM card then the original caller ID shows up at the recipient's end.
I am not sure whether your carrier allows a data SIM card for a tablet to be used in a cellular phone. This is because the cellular phone plan is more expensive than the cellular data plan for a tablet. I recommend that you contact your carrier and sort this out including the caller ID issue that you are experiencing.

Understood. Please call your carrier to have the ID changed for that SIM card so that when you use it with your iPhone then the right name will be transmitted.

Hi
The SIM card in the Tablet allowed me to make calls, send/receive SMSs and gave me a certain amount of data as part of the monthly fee. It wasn't an exclusively data only SIM Card.
Thanks
