Why would one want to perform a reverse search on a phone number?

Doing a reverse search on a phone number means that one has a phone number, and wishes to find out who the phone number belongs to. It could happen that someone called, and the caller is unknown. But the number is available in the phone's records. Then one can do a reverse number search, and find out who called. If it is someone who is known, a company or a person, one can call them back. If it seems to be unrelated, one can drop calling the number back and save some time and money.

For your name to be displayed on the caller id, the person you are calling should have your name stored in their phone, along with your phone no. So, when you call, the system recognises your phone number, and then displays or announces your name.
