Introduction

Have you ever hesitated to pick up a call just because you didn’t recognize the number? That’s exactly the problem CNAM solves. It shows the caller’s name right next to the number, so people know who’s calling before they even answer.

For businesses, this small detail can make a big difference - it builds trust, helps calls get answered, and makes your company look professional every time you reach out.

What Is CNAM (Caller Name Delivery)?

CNAM stands for Caller Name Delivery. Simply put, it’s a feature that shows your name -or your company’s name - when you call someone.

Instead of just seeing a string of digits like:
+1 555 123 4567
your customers see something friendly and recognizable like:
“Freezvon Support” or “Anna from Sales.”

It works on both traditional phone lines and VoIP calls, making your communication clearer and more personal.

How Does CNAM Work?

The magic happens behind the scenes:

  • When you make a call, the person receiving it doesn’t just see your number.
  • Their phone company checks a special CNAM database to find the name linked to your number.
  • If your name is registered there, it pops up on their screen instantly.
  • If it’s not, they’ll just see the number or “Unknown Caller.”

For businesses using VoIP, services like Freezvon ensure your CNAM is set up properly so your name shows up every time you call.

Why CNAM Matters for Your Business

Showing your name when you call does more than just look good - it makes people more likely to pick up. Here’s why businesses swear by CNAM:

  • More answered calls: People trust calls from a known name more than just a number.
  • Professional touch: It strengthens your brand every time you make a call.
  • Clear communication: Customers know right away who’s calling and why.
  • Less chance of being ignored: Unknown numbers often get rejected, but a name feels familiar and trustworthy.

Imagine a customer getting a call labeled “Freezvon Billing Team” - they’ll probably answer faster and feel more confident talking to you.

Who Uses CNAM?

CNAM is great for any business that calls customers regularly:

  • Sales and support teams
  • Delivery and logistics companies
  • Consultants and freelancers
  • Online shops and service providers

It’s especially useful for businesses using virtual numbers and VoIP - like Freezvon’s - helping keep your caller identity consistent no matter where you’re calling from.

Benefits of CNAM

  • Your business name shows up with every call
  • Calls feel more trustworthy and professional
  • Customers are more likely to answer
  • Helps reduce missed opportunities
  • Works well with VoIP and virtual phone systems
