To increase your market penetration rate and spread awareness of your brand or product, add a Caller ID Set to your Outbound Campaign. With a Caller ID Set you can control what appears on the called phones per-campaign or per-call.

When an Outbound Campaign Group includes a Caller ID Set, the Outbound Contact Server (OCS) selects (sequentially or randomly) a different Caller ID each time a specific outbound phone number is contacted. As a result, the same outbound phone number will see a different Caller ID every time he/she receives a call from the same Outbound Campaign.

Each Caller ID value represents a phone number (a string of digits with an optional + sign).
