Outbound calling names act as caller IDs. You can set a default calling name for one or more of the phone numbers in your inventory. You can also set unique calling names for individual phone numbers. The names then appear to recipients of outbound calls made using those phone numbers. Calling names apply to all phone number product types. You can update the names once every seven days.
For example, you can set a default calling name of Department 5 for all the phone numbers in that department. You can also set a unique name of Jane Doe for the department head.
The following steps explain how to set default and individual outbound calling names.
To set a calling name
Open the Amazon Chime console at https://chime.aws.amazon.com/
