    United States carriers are now blocking all unregistered outbound SMS per industry regulations to combat spam. Registration is mandatory for all providers, not just GoTo Connect. Register now to restore or maintain SMS service. GoTo Connect cannot expedite carrier reviews.

Change my caller ID

Learn how to make changes to your caller ID (CID) whether that's changing the actual text associated with your phone number or changing which phone number shows up on your outbound calls.
There are some situations when Caller ID is not guaranteed to work:
  • Toll-free calls: Caller ID is not guaranteed when using a toll-free number.
  • Canadian calls: Caller ID works differently in Canada and it is up to each provider to pass through the Caller ID set in the admin portal.
  • Rate Centers: Caller ID reflects the city and state of the rate center the phone number is from. Not every city has rate centers so some cities cannot be displayed.
  • Feature Not Activated with Provider: If using a cell phone to test with, verify that you have paid for the caller ID feature with your provider, otherwise you will not get valid results.

You may also have questions about the following scenarios:
  • If your caller ID is showing as spam to customers, see Why is my caller ID showing as spam?.
  • If you want to block caller ID for individual calls, dial *67 + phone number.
  • If you want to know the caller ID of your incoming calls (known as call screening), see the Find me/follow me section of Change extension settings

GoTo Admin

Change the phone number displaying on outbound calls from a direct extension

Before you begin: You must have an admin or super admin role to perform this task.
  1. Sign in to GoTo Admin.
  2. From Phone system (phone in a cloud) icon Phone system > Call routes > Direct extensions, select the line that you need to change.
  3. From Settings, select General > Outbound call options, and then enable Overwrite external caller ID.
  4. Use the Custom external caller ID drop-down menu to select the caller ID you want to display when making outbound calls from this direct extension.
  5. Select Save.

Change the caller ID for a phone number

This task is optional. You are not required to enter a caller ID name. If the field is left blank, then the phone number will be displayed by default. Caller ID name changes may take up to 14 business days.
Note: For phone numbers in the US and Canada, follow the instructions below to change your caller ID in GoTo Admin. For phone numbers outside the US and Canada, please email numbers@goto.com to change your caller ID.
Before you begin: You must have an admin or super admin role to perform this task.
  1. Sign in to GoTo Admin.
  2. From Phone system (phone in a cloud) icon Phone system > Phone numbers, select the number that needs changes made.
  3. From Overview, select Edit (pencil) icon Edit details to make changes to the phone number's Caller ID name and then select Save.
    Note: The caller ID name must be between 2-15 characters and must contain at least 1 letter to prevent spoofing.
What to do next: If you are having trouble with your caller IDs not displaying properly on outbound calls, see How do I fix my caller ID?.

PBX Administration (classic)

There may be a $15 fee for any CID or two-way changes. Please note that this process can take a couple of weeks to complete.
  1. Download this form.
  2. Once you have filled out the form, email the completed document to numbers@goto.com.

    Result: This will create a ticket with our Telecom team who will work on your request and let you know when it is completed.

What to do next: If you get reports that your caller ID is not displaying correctly, it's likely because that person's individual carrier has not reached out to the central data base yet to update their records.
