Q: What are the differences between caller ID, CNAM, and branded caller ID?

Caller ID (CLI): Simply transmits the phone number of the caller. CNAM: Adds the name of the caller (up to 15 characters) on landlines in the U.S. and Canada but relies on outdated databases. Branded Caller ID: Allows businesses to customize and control outbound caller ID on mobile phones, displaying the name, logo, and call reason on select devices and carriers.
