Can I Configure MY Caller ID Info?

My new vonage number doesn't show a name when I call someone. I want it to be my company name. Can I change that (and if so how) or do I need to get vonage to do it (and if so how)?

Thanks in advance.

Broadvoice has this. Vonage just says "Vonage Holdings", though I have heard rumors that if you ask that can REMOVE the "Vonage Holdings" so it will just say "UNKNOWN", but they can't, as of yet, put your name in.

This is a feature that I would like to see. I would put it ehind E911 and call blocking features. I cannot wait to get some new features. It will give me something mess around with for awhile.

I would be surprised to see this because of the potential for abuse. Personally, I would like it, but could you imagine scam artists using it? Call some poor old lady and make it seem like a bank or something. If they do this, it should always include your last name, but where you could customize the first name... e.g.Mike intead of Michael.
