Display caller's number when forwarding to agent's phone
When a Zendesk Talk call is forwarded to an agent's phone, the incoming caller ID shows _our_ Zendesk Talk number, not the phone number of the actual caller. The incoming caller ID shows in the browser, but not when forwarding. This is just as important as seeing the caller ID in the browser.
Our previous Phone.com and Grasshopper.com services had this feature standard, so I had assumed that's what "Incoming Caller ID" meant on the Zendesk Talk pricing and feature list.
I propose this feature be added to the product roadmap to get parity between the browser and phone in regards to caller ID.

Thanks for the feedback, Rob. We'll be interested to hear whether this is important to other users as well.

Hey!
I was about to write exactly the same post myself.
Our account managers have their phone calls routed to their mobile phones and instead of knowing who is calling they must ask who it is on the other side. We need to find a solution to this because it looks quite unprofessional when the customer's personal account manager doesn't know who they are.
We as well had this functionality previously with Natterbox and I'm hoping this is something that will be added soon.
-
This feature is extremely important for us as agents working on mobile phones are no longer able to identify who the customer calling them is.
The result is that customers are greeted with generic "can I ask who is calling" and the automatic support entitlement check cannot be carried out.
Please see if this feature can be added (ideally as an option)
-
Not knowing who is calling through significantly decreases the utility of this service. Additionally, since there are often delays in voicemail notifications it can take time to learn who called and what they wanted. This issue ismake or break for my use of this feature. Please patch!

I can only second what has been written above. Would be a great addition!

Thanks for sharing, all. We've flagged this for the appropriate product managers to read, and they'll follow up if they have questions. Other users are welcome to continue sharing their thoughts and voting as well.

I was looking for a solution on this and found this post. Please do consider to add this function on Talk. Really important!!
-
This feature is standard with most phone providers, or at least an option to toggle the feature on/off.
-
This is a crucial feature that I would think would be the norm to include for a system such as this. Has there been any update to implementing something like this?
-
Please this is an important feature!
the reason I have 99% of the calls go to voicemail when away from the desk is because we cannot identify the caller.We are not sitting in front of the browser all day and typically are "working"
Either create TALK into the support or separate mobile app (doubt it as this has been a request for years and your hands are tied with twilio being the provider) or add this functionality of caller ID (NOT THE ZENDESK NUMBER ONLY)Please and Thank you

Hi!
This is an important feature that we need to have as missed calls need to go to voicemail and we need to be able to call them back and they do not always leave a call back number. I would recommend adding the contact number as whom is calling and having a "company name" as Zendesk.

We strongly agree with this requirement.
Classic standard phone system are able to display always the original caller ID even when the call is forwarded through different units.
It is a standard like how the numbers are arranged on a dialing display or an e-mail-adress contains always an @.
Please read also the conversation with your support team: #5210469

We really need this feature as well. We are trying to find hacks around it as we don't know who is calling us when calls get forwarded from Zendesk.

I concur with the others. We have agents dedicated to clients who, in the past, had their mobile numbers so our agents would know who was calling before the picked up. It is a nice touch to answer "Hi Betsy" instead of "this is (agent's name)". It also gave the agent a bit of time to mentally prepare for who they would be speaking with....e.g. recount previous communications and the situation they are trying to solve for the caller.

Please add this feature. Not everyone uses the browser to answer calls! In fact, I think using a regular phone is easier.
