CNAM (Caller ID Name) Display

Category: Compliance
Audience: Client | Admin | Operator

Goal: Explain how Taalk manages CNAM registration to display your brand name on outbound calls and how this feature is included in the Taalk Compliance Package.

Status: Live

Overview

CNAM (Caller Name) is the feature that allows your business name to appear on the recipient’s phone when you make outbound calls. It’s what helps your customers recognize who’s calling — improving answer rates, trust, and overall call performance.

With Taalk, you don’t need to manage CNAM separately. Our system automatically registers and maintains your CNAM records as part of your Taalk Compliance Package.

How It Works

  • Taalk submits your business name and phone numbers to the national CNAM registry.

  • When you make outbound calls, carriers that support CNAM (about 65% of U.S. mobile and landline phones) will display your brand name instead of just your number.

  • CNAM records are refreshed regularly to maintain accuracy and compliance.

This feature is completely free and included in your Taalk Compliance Package — no hidden fees, no manual setup.

Why It Matters

  • Increases trust: Customers recognize your business immediately, reducing hang-ups.

  • Improves compliance: Keeps your brand identity consistent with your registered calling numbers.

  • Boosts performance: Studies show branded caller ID can improve answer rates by up to 20%.

Limitations to Note

  • Some carriers and devices do not support third-party CNAM display (the remaining ~35% of phones may still show your number only).

  • CNAM display is text-based (up to 15 characters) and may vary slightly depending on the carrier’s lookup database.

Included in Taalk Compliance Package

Your CNAM registration and management are automatically handled by Taalk’s Compliance Team. There’s no action required on your part.
