My phone says spam number likely any time its a spammer. Some numbers show a name and others don't tho i think it depends how the other persons account is setup.
This is correct. That old "caller ID" we used to have worked bc everyone was calling from land lines. With cell phones, you can log in to your account and put whatever name you want to show up on the caller ID, or no name at all which is how most are set up. This is why you don't see names. The problem isn't your phone.

Because in the 90s people were calling from landlines that were listed publicly. How fricking hard is that to understand

I’m talking about if someone I do not know or do not have in my contact list calls me, it does not display the name of the Human being or business name of whom is trying to call me.
Because the calls aren’t coming from an analog line. The numbers aren’t registers like they once were.

Does anybody know the reson for this?

my iphone is my work phone so i get a lot of calls from numbers i don't have saved.
the vast majority of calls i take (with numbers that are NOT saved) have a last name or business name.

I disagree with this
On our landline at work, we have caller ID and 90% of the calls show the callers name on the caller id.
If I call my work landline from my cell phone, it shows my name as calling - if I call a cell phone that does not have my name in their contact address book, then it does not display my name, only phone number

Again, I disagree with this. I do not have a CNAM - if I call a landline it says my name and phone number on the landline caller ID so your response is incorrect.

Do you answer random calls from numbers not stored in your phone?
Neither do I, so is caller ID that important?

Technology advances. For every new thing that comes out to battle scam callers, the scammers invent something to counter it.

You got a TracFone?

Cell phones do not have caller IDs because they are wireless. Caller ID requires a full channel connection, as the call information flows from the caller to your phone carrier. Wireless connections rarely take up a full transmission wavelength, making Caller ID inefficient for cell phone carriers.

When I get a phone call, if its from someone in my phone their name pops up. It IDs the caller.

It’s a work phone and I get 30-40+ calls/day. That’s why.

I actually work for a company that is working on this problem...but not how you think. In the future you're going to start seeing a lot more companies with good caller ID information because they are paying for it. Think about delivery services like GrubHub or DoorDash and how important it is for them to connect to their customers are they are trying to deliver food. How valuable do you think that call is to that company? Now think about it from a Bank perspective. Or your pharmacy or doctors office.
TL;DR - you'll start seeing more and more of in the coming months/years because companies are starting to realize how important it is.
