Retain Caller ID information regardless of blind/warm transfer type

When transferring calls, Caller ID information is only passed on blind transfers. It would be helpful if the caller ID information was passed to the new recipient regardless of transfer type.

Warm/Consultative Transfer: - Incoming call from PSTN/RC # to RingCentral and transferred to RC number Blind Transfer: - Incoming call from PSTN/RC # to RingCentral and transferred to RC number - Incoming call from PSTN/RC # to RingCentral and transferred to RC voicemail The feature requires the following endpoints to work successfully. This applies to both the user invoking the transfer as well as the user who is the destination of the transfer.Desk phones: Any Poly, Avaya or Unify models.

    It was working for us using MITEL phones from Dec 2023 to Aug 2024 when it stopped. I am told they needed more information on the feature and disabled it. They are working on getting it fixed and implemented again but no ETA at this time.

    I can confirm this was briefly fixed for us two months ago and after two weeks of working it suddenly stopped passing caller ID after warm transfer. We are on 24.3.252.11815. This is critical for us for agent callbacks to customers for technical queries and needs to be fixed.

    This is a critical feature that is causing our business serious issues. As more people are involved in field work, they need to have the flexibility to use whatever device and have the Caller ID available to them.

    I can confirm this isn't working yet. My receptionist gets a call and when they transfer, the actual caller's caller id does not show up.

    This does not work on Polycom VVX450 sets.

    Confirmed that this issue is NOT resolved, version 24.1.33.9929. Caller ID of a Queue call is not retained using the 'Ask first' transfer type.

  • Jerry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Customer would like to transfer a call to Sales, for example. When the call is transferred, it would display the caller ID of the inbound caller instead of the transferring party. That way, the Sales team can pick up the phone number/caller ID of the inbound caller.

    announced/warm transfer should show the caller ID of the customer being transferred and not the caller ID of the one transferringSIMILAR IDEAS: CUSTCOM-I-8250
    and ENTCOM-I-48

    can we set it up where the caller id of the original caller follows the call throughout many transferrers

  • Open commented  ·   ·  Report

    The source phone number of the caller should be appear whenever doing a warm transfer, it should be carry over to the agent received the transferred call

  • Los Dos Hermanos commented  ·   ·  Report

    When a user transfers a call to another user through a warm transfer, the caller's phone numbers should still show up so that if the call gets disconnected, a call back can be performed. As it is currently, after the call is transferred, if the call disconnects, there is no way to call the caller back because there is no caller id shown.
