We have agents requesting the ability to see the original caller's number instead of the person's number who is transferring the call. We would love to see this feature in the next firmware update.

Is there any update on this as this post was created 2 years ago and still hasn't been implemented.
It's quite frustrating to use the workaround where someone does a warm transfer then after speaking to the person in the correct department, then having to go back to customer to then blind transfer to the person you just spoke to.

Hi Gareth,
I just followed up with the Product Team on this subject. At this time it's not on the roadmap. However, they're going to take a deep dive into the engineering side and see if it can be prioritized for a future release. I'll keep an eye out for if this request makes it to the roadmap this year :) Fingers crossed, because I totally understand how frustrating it is!

After launching RC a couple weeks ago, we immediately noticed this flaw and it is significantly affecting our business NEGATIVELY.

We moved to Ring Central last week and immediately noticed this same issue. When doing a soft transfer of a call we need to know when the transfer has been completed. Currently, our receptionist will do a soft transfer to me, announce the caller when I answer, but I don't know when the transfer has actually taken place. The receptionist's phone ext. continues to appear on my phone display after she has transferred the call so I think she is still on the line. We need an audible signal or the number of the outside caller to appear on our display screen so that we know when the call has been transferred.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Caller ID - Forwarding inContact Calls.
When forwarding calls or sending calls to someone else's VM, the call should show the original caller's ID instead of the caller ID of the person who forwarded the call. We have noticed that RingCentral does not conserve the original caller's ID. This seems to be the case when transferring a call within RingCentral Office or from inContact (Contact Center) to RingCentral Office.
I'm amazed that this is an issue. It's one of those basic functionalities that should "just work." Please fix this.

This is a huge problem. When a call is transferred is shows me my coworker's info and as a result I answer as if I'm talking to the coworker and not the customer they transferred. Oops on me, but I've been working with phone systems for over 20 years and I've never had a system that didn't keep the caller ID information with the call as it was transferred. My voice mail and call log only show the person that transferred, not the original call info.

When I receive a call from someone in the US on my RingCentral number, it would be EXTREMELY helpful to be able to see the Caller ID, in addition to the Caller's Name in the email or app message!!!! Quite often when the caller leaves a voice message, it's difficult to understand the caller and their name.This would be SOOOO helpful when you're calling someone back, and I know it can be done since I did have a prior service which provided this information..

With two years of history in multiple threads/discussions and hundreds of points of input, one can only assume that either a) this is technically very hard (I struggle to believe that) or RC is not connected/concerned about the satisfaction of the users it has.in its Installed Base.
One answer says they can't. The other says they don't care. Sad in either case. Perhaps this needs to move up to an executive level?

RingCentral's competitors have this feature and have for years. There is no reason that this should not be implemented already. We just went live in the last month, I unfortunately assumed this would not be an issue but it is now a serious problem.

Since you are able to accomplish this functionality via a long press of the transfer button, shouldn't it be relatively easy for RingCentral to program this functionality as the default for the transfer button?
It is absolutely illogical that by default you can't see the number of the incoming caller when they are transferred. This should be absolutely standard.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Transfering caller id through Blind or Transfer.
I have a question and issue with Blind Transfer and plain Transfer.
When receptionist transfer a caller ID and use Transfer, She has time to explain to user that "MR. or MRS so and so is on call, I am going to transfer", that way the user can see the caller ID and listen to receptionists.
however, with Blind Transfer, the receptionist has no chance to talk or explain to user, who is on line, before she hits the Blind transfer.
Therefore, Advantage of Blind transfer is that it will show the caller ID.
Advantage of "Transfer" is you can talk to third person before you transfer.
Disadvantage of Blind transfer is, you won't have a way to speak to user before transfer,
Disadvantage of "Transfer" is the third person won't be able to see the "Caller ID".
how can we fix this issue.
We want to transfer but at the same time to be able to talk and then transfer but "with Caller ID".
With out old cheap system we used to be able to do it all.

We use RingCentral Phone in Windows, and this basic functionality is also missing.
All our transfers are warm, but we need to see the original caller ID when the call is connected, and more importantly in our call history.
Please add this to RingCentral Phone, sooner would be appreciated!
