The user received an iPhone from corporate. &nbsp;Problem is that the phone number is associated with a 'sketchy' location. <br />
<br />
When he makes a cell to cell phone call, the name of this town can show up on the receiving cell phone (if he's not in their address book), and this is not good for his type of work. <br />
<br />
They called AT&amp;T, and after a long time between techs, AT&amp;T basically said that this is the way it is.<br />

Will any of the following work:<br />

Switching the number to Verizon?

Getting a new number for the phone with a desired location, and then using a call forwarding service to have old calls re-routed to the new number. &nbsp;At least in this scenario new outbound calls would have an identifier that he likes, and calls to the old number will transfer over.

Is there any way of getting AT&amp;T to change the location ?

Can a Cell Phone have the location for the number changed?

A cellular phone (also known as a mobile phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a telephone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Mobile phones that offer services such as text messaging, email, Internet access, business applications, gaming, photography and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.
