Caller ID is a telephone service, which provides the calling party's number to the called party. The service may also provide a name associated with the calling number. It is often called CLID (Calling Line Identification or CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation). When Caller ID information is provided by a VoIP service, it is sometimes called CNAM (Caller Name). The calling party's information is transmitted to the called party's telephone equipment when the call is set up. The information may be displayed on a display device attached to the called party's telephone or on the called party's telephone itself. The information may also be announced by an automated voice announcement system
