Mastermind Phone Verified Caller ID

In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps to set up your own phone number as the caller ID for outgoing voice calls. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that want to maintain a consistent, professional identity by using their existing phone number rather than a generic one. Whether you're making calls to clients or customers, using your own number as the caller ID helps establish trust and credibility.

Note:

There is a limit of 10 verified caller IDs per sub-account by default to prevent misuse. If you need more, contact support to request an increase in this limit.
Due to local regulations on domestic calls in India, effective from August 1, 2024, calls placed from +91 caller ID to +91 destination will not work.
This is only supported for LC Phone, not for clients using personal Twilio account
