Display incoming caller Id when callers dial a call queue
Incoming calls to a call queue should show the caller id of the person calling. It only shows the name of the call queue in Teams.

Display the caller ID (not name) to the call queue agents works for me, but they does not seen the callee who forward the call to the queue. That’s sucks

Please fix this. CID persistence is a very basic feature for any business telephone system.

This is a huge need and someone from the MS Teams team is under the impression that this should work already per this forum post, but they have not responded to my messages to try and work with them. Is this a feature that is in development? CID should persist through multiple AAs and CQs, to the end user, and then even through end user transfers.

This is crucial. Almost all receptionist use an auto attendant or call queue, and them not having caller ID is a huge problem. I am hearing complaints from a lot of the staff.
EDIT: The firmware is updated.

Okay so original ask is for the caller id to show up, not map it to contact book. As far as I can tell, the number does show up when a user calls the queue.
The rest of the comments are basically a new requirement. Match the incoming number to my personal phone book.

Matching a caller ID to a contacts name in Outlook should be a standard feature, customers are asking why callers names are no longer showing since moving to Teams when receiving a call queue call.

This feature exists for Skype onprem response groups. In order to move to Teams Voice this functionality needs to match.

It has been two years since this was posted and as far as I'm aware, this issues still exists. This is a huge problem and a major failure. Our users are starting to ask about a new phone system and we just implemented Teams Voice 2 months ago. Please fix this.

This ties into the issue of lack of a proper phonebook which would sort this issue out two fold and you would think relatively easy to implement?!

This needs resolution. Nearly every client we have is upset by this and wanting to now move from Teams voice as a result of something so trivial. The data is there, just not presented....

The lack of this feature is preventing us from moving our phone system to teams. We are an MSP and we need to see the name of the customer calling and not just the phone number.

As we deploy Microsoft Teams Phones to additional clients, more people are asking for better incoming caller ID functionality. Phone numbers are OK, but businesses require additional info.

Has it been confirmed as of yet, if the call queues can display incoming call caller ID. This seems like something basic, but does not seem to be available.

This now works as of Jan 2021 for us on direct routing.

I am very surprised that such a basic feature is missing. While reverse number look up for the caller id seems to work for direct PSTN to Teams calls, its missing for call queues/auto attendant. I even logged a support ticket as assumed it was broken!

My company just switched to Teams phones, sure wish they had done a little more research and realized how much functionality they would have to give up. Not having caller ID is insane, this has been a standard function of phones for years, seems like every time we upgrade we go further back.

This is still an issue and a major one for most companies.
we have multiple call queues, and one user can be in more than 1 queue, so they need to know which queue is ringing before answering and who the caller is.Any updates on a fix for this MS??

Could it be that Teams always expects E.164 numbers?

This is a big issue that everyone using a Teams desk phone with the latest firmware complains about.
