    Don't think it's possible with PSTN.

    I know with VoIPfrom Blueface, if it's a VoIP to VoIP call (from their own subscribers) it shows names alright.

    You could try save your number into the other person's phone?

    Are you sure its not just the software on your company's phone system and someone else had already assigned the caller's name to their number.
