Verify your own mobile number once with an SMS code, and every call you make from ChromePing's browser dialer displays that number as the caller ID — so the person you're calling sees you, not an unfamiliar US number.
Display-only, same per-minute rates, and you can only display a number you've proven you own. No app to install. Verify once, switch or add numbers any time.
When you call from a browser or app-based calling service, your call reaches the regular phone network through the service’s own carrier line. By default, the recipient’s phone displays that line’s number — for ChromePing, a US number — not yours. Some handsets that can’t interpret the incoming ID show “Unknown” instead.
That’s why your cousin abroad sees a random +1 number and doesn’t pick up: nothing is broken, it’s just the default caller ID of the line carrying your call. Verified caller ID replaces that default with a number they actually recognize — yours.
In Settings → Caller ID, enter the mobile number you want calls to display, in international format (e.g. +44…, +52…). It must be a number that can receive a text message — verification is by SMS.
We text a one-time code to that number. Type it in — that's the proof you own the number. It takes about as long as reading this sentence.
The number you just verified becomes your active caller ID automatically. From now on, outbound calls from the browser display your number. You can verify more numbers and switch between them any time.
In the rare case a call can’t present your verified number, it falls back to the default ChromePing number so your call still connects — you’re never blocked from calling.
Who applies the label. The “Spam Likely” / “Scam Likely” tag is applied on the receiving side — by the recipient’s carrier and its analytics partner (the major US carriers work with analytics providers such as First Orion, Hiya, and TNS) — not by the service you’re calling from. No calling app can toggle it off, whatever its marketing says.
What the scoring looks at. These systems score the calling number’s behavior over time: how many calls it makes, how short they are, how often people answer, hang up quickly, or report the number. A personal number making normal-length calls to people who pick up looks nothing like a robocaller — and is scored accordingly.
What you can do (in order of impact):
The honest summary: verified caller ID solves the recognition problem (people see you instead of a random US number). Registration and normal calling behavior solve the reputation problem. They work together; neither substitutes for the other.
Verify your number once, and the people you call see you.
Display-only. Same per-minute rates. Mobile numbers only (SMS verification).
