It is important to make sure your provider (in this case at&t) is
sending the proper info. Once that is done, and the problem still
persists, it is usually the landline provider that must make the change.
To do this, the land line customer needs to contact their tech support
and give the incoming phone number and what the Caller ID should be. It
is a two way deal that can get stuck on either side.
I would call Tech support, ask that a ticket be created, and once it is
closed (finished) and the problem continues, have the other number
contact their tech support.
