Show Original Callers Number in Caller ID when Transferring calls

Currently, when a call comes into our main line, the caller ID is shown. This is extremely helpful when receiving a call. However, if the call is received by a receptionist (or the wrong person) and is immediately forwarded to another extension, the original caller ID is lost and replaced by the receptionists extension name/number. The original caller ID is now lost, meaning the name and/or number of the original caller is gone from view. It would be extremely helpful to keep the original caller ID on a simple transfer.

    Hello everyone, this has been implemented in 22.3.1. This version of the app was rolled out to all accounts over 8/25-8/31. No additional action is required to initiate the feature on the app, please confirm you are on 22.3.1.

    This feature allows for caller ID to transfer in these scenarios.

    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.

    • RingCentral App: Version 21.4.30 or later

    • RingCentral Mobile App: Version 22.1.10 or later

    • RingCentral Phone App: Version 22.2 or later


    This feature does not work with Cisco or Yealink phones.
    This feature has not been formally tested on Mitel phones, it may or may not work.

    Actually, this feature does work for Yealink phones. We currently use the T46S and T54W phones. We previously had Intermedia as our phone provider and the original caller ID was saved when the call was transfered. Please request to have Ringcentral update their system.

    This was working for us, using Poly phones. Recently, it has stopped working. No setting changes have been able to bring it back.

    For people using Yealink phones; we have found a solution that appears to be working for us. On either the phone's web portal or YMCS change the setting for Caller ID Source to "PAI-RPID-FROM". If this could be implemented by RingCentral to be the default for all users that would resolve this issue.

    I just figured out that on the Mitel Phones if you press transfer then manually enter the extension number then transfer again the caller id will show up. The issue is in using the soft keys to transfer. Sounds like a programming issue on RingCentral's part. Mitel worked way better than RingCentral's system.

    Though this indicates that it works for Warm/Consultative Transfer, it does not. We are on Version 22.4.21 and when we process a Warm/Consultative Transfer the outsider caller ID is lost and replaced with the caller ID of the internal person. I have a case open, since October, and now am being told it is not a functional feature.

    I have the same questions about forwarded voicemails. Right now when our receptionist (Polycom VVX250) receives a voicemail, it contains the inbound Caller ID. But when she forwards that voicemail internally to another extension, the Caller ID becomes her own extension, which is not especially helpful.

    I see that someone else new to Ring Central and the Yealink phone is having the same issue are. We just started with Ring Central 3 weeks ago. Support hasn't told us that this basic function doesn't work with the Yealink phone. A phone that they quickly recommended to us. The sad thing is that I had to read about in in the above note. WHAT IS RING CENTRAL GOING TO DO TO ENGINEER THIS BASIC FUNCTION TO WORK?

    We are new to RingCentral (Migrated from Mitel) why is this not a feature on all phones? We have yealink phones and when a call is transferred it only shows the person who transferred the call to you not the caller on the other line. When will this feature be implemented for yealink phones???

    RigCentral got back to me regarding settings for Polycom Desk Phones to transfer a call showing the native number the call came from:

    The default transfer type for Polycom VVX Series phones is consultative or warm transfer. To change your Polycom phone's default transfer type, follow these steps.

    1. Press the Menu key.

    2. Press Settings.

    3. Press Basic.

    4. Press Preference.

    5. Press Default Transfer Type.

    6. Select Blind.

    NOTE: You can also change the default transfer type while on a call. While on a call, long-press the Transfer key, then select Blind. When selected, you can proceed with your transfer.


    This worked for my Polycom RingCentral phones!!!!

    Revised comment from last comment - The version I have is actually 22.3.0.44615 and it said my version is up to date. But you state "Hello everyone, this has been implemented in 22.3.1. This version of the app was rolled out to all accounts over 8/25-8/31. No additional action is required to initiate the feature on the app, please confirm you are on 22.3.1. " Isn't 22.3.1 a newer version than 22.3.0.44615? And if it was rolled out to all accounts back in August, how come I don't have it? Bottom line is, how do I get this version for this feature to be working on my system?

    It hasn't started working as described on my company's phone lines yet. We strictly use the computer version or mobile phone app, no actual phones. I just checked what version I currently am using and it says 22.3.0. How do I update it to version 22.3.1 to be able to have this function working for our customer service reps? I prefer to just hit blind transfer instead of a warm transfer to other coworkers extensions, and they never know if it actually is me or if it's a call being transferred to them, and sometimes they may pick up the call and say something intended for me, only to find out it is a customer calling! So this is an important fix for our customer service reps, and for everyone in our company we may transfer the calls to, so they can screen the calls as they see fit and choose whether they want to answer or send to voice mail.

    Further to this comment 'This feature has not been formally tested on Mitel phones, it may or may not work.' I can confirm it does not work with either Mitel 6930 or 6940 phones. Would be great if ultimately it did work as there would be many of us that have migrated over from Mitel after the RingCentral purchase and have brought our desk phones with us.

Call Transfer issues on a ring central land line phone. Example: When an incoming call is fielded by the receptionist, the caller then tells the receptionist who they need to speak with.

However the callers name should appear on the agent/assistant caller id and not the receptionists name (which is currently the case. )
