I know that... but when I call somebody that does NOT have my number the name "Portage Northern Baseball" appears on their phone? I was a parent of the team and ran the social media but can't understand why my caller id comes up that way with some people. Unless coincidently a few obscure people saved my name in their phones as that.

your carrier is responsible for your caller id
Smart feature - I did not know it existed, you can not do that with any carrier in Denmark.
You are welcome.
Maybe some others have some good advice.
The only other way you can change that is to contact your cell service carrier and see what they have on file for display. But if this is only happening with a few people that will not be the issue, it will be that they have a contact on their phone that lists you that way. They would have to change that on their device.
Some carriers let you choose how your name displays on caller ID. Check with your carrier or check your carrier App. Verizon for example let’s you do it when you’re logged into the My Verizon app
It is they who receive your call who decides what name you come up with.
If you are in their Contactbook as "SLATSVIDEO" then that is the name they see. If your name is not in their contact book, then they will just see your phone number.
I came up with something - are your phone number connected in some ways to Portage Northern Baseball? If yes, then it may be because those who have received calls from you have some sort of "Spam Call app" on their phone.
Ex. I have an app on my phone, if I receive a call from phone numbers registered in that app, then the name comes up. It is not necessarily SPAM, it can also be telemarketers, or shops etc.
It must be my best bet.
I do not see other options. In any case, it is not possible to change the Caller ID that others see on their phones during normal calls. What is possible in 3rd party apps I do not know.
Thanks for the thoughts. I appreciate the reply
