Caller ID

Why does Caller ID pop up as my dads name when calling someone else’s phone? I saw the other post that was like this, but I wish it would pop up as my number on someone’s phone, instead of my dads name. I already have checked my contacts, and it’s still doing it it.

When you call (Voice Call) someone only the number that you are calling from is sent to the recipient not the name. If they are seeing a name that must be from their contact list and has nothing to do with your iPhone.
