It might be worth switching to a different phone number so that you can set up a different phone number for your Share Name ID.
Can You Still Block Your Name with Verizon Share Name ID?
You can block your name from appearing on caller ID and still get an ID by simply entering *67 before placing your call.

When you call 9-1-1, you must enter the 10-digit phone number if you want to be on the system.
