You are referring to what the people you are calling see? What are they seeing, just your number? Your cellular carrier provides Caller ID, and they control what is seen. Not all carrier Caller IDs transmit the name along with the number. Many it is just the number. And if your recipient has you in their contacts, you name would display, however they have you entered into their contacts.
