By default we send the incoming caller's phone number when you receive a call. This means that your phone (if it has a display) will show the number of the person calling you. It may show Unknown or Withheld if it is not known. There is also a caller's name field which we send as well, although this usually won't show the name (except on calls from other AAISP VoIP customers). |

Where an incoming call has been made using a [[VoIP_-_Calling_With_a_SIP_URI|SIP URI]] rather than the PSTN the 'number' of the person calling cannot be trusted (and may be not purely numeric) , and so we prefix that 'number' with a '?' to indicate the potential untrustworthiness. |

'''Notes:''' |

| ⚫ | It's worthwhile checking that your local equipment can cope with your chosen tag. For example a phone with a seven segment display will have difficulty with some alphabetic characters, and some phones can only display 12 characters (and a typical UK phone number is 11 characters) so you'll lose some characters. |

* "Anonymous" is a special name that means no CLI, a tag prefix would not be added in this case. |
