This happened as a result of the switching. switching is what happens between the time you complete dialing a number and the time it rings the number you’ve called. landline phone to landline phone goes through switches…landline phone to cell phone goes through switches and then a wireless satelite. caller id will not be displayed as it would to the reciever of a landline call. confusing, i know…but i hope that helps.
I can think of two possible reasons
1. He has your name and number in his cell, in which case his cell recognizes the signal and displays the number.
2. You do not have your number blocked.
my cell always gets the number wether its a cell.. or land line phone.
many people mistakenly believe that by completeing a call with a calling card they can effectivly mask there caller ID information…. this is not always the case… many calling cards will recieve your caller ID information, and pass it on to the person whom you are calling…
calling cards can not pass your ANI information, because the ANI is used to determine the line the call was originated from, in this case, it would be a line in control by the calling card company… but, your call id info would just be passed along…
not all calling cards do this… and there are actuallay calling cards that allow you to enter any number you would like into the caller id, called caller id spoofing…
