This invention relates to a method and apparatus for specifying alternative phone numbers to be used as Incoming Calling Line Identification (ICLID) numbers. When calling from a remote telephone station, the caller may provide personalized information including a telephone number and corresponding indicia, and indicate the telephone number to be used as the ICLID number. Further, the caller may provide a personal message along with the telephone number and its accompanying indicia. Advantageously, callers may identify themselves, or for the purposes if ICLID, with their home or business telephone number even when they are calling from a different telephone station.
