Caller ID: How do I change the Outbound Caller ID on individual extensions?

When I call a customer, I want the number that appears to be our local number. It currently comes up as '800 service'. Thanks in advance.

Outbound Caller ID's can be managed by each extension under Settings --> Outbound Caller ID (see below article).  

Setting a User's Outbound Caller ID

To update the ID to a number that is associated with another extension (including Groups) and not showing up in the Outbound Caller ID drop down, please:
  • Move the desired number to Auto-Receptionist (under Company Number)
  • Next, go into users and change the necessary Outbound Caller ID's
  • Finally, move the number back to it's original Ext. 
NOTE: this does not apply to cell phone app, that needs to be done inside the app itself. 

If the number is assigned to a Device, contact Support.  They will need to temporarily unassign it be moved to Auto-Receptionist and then follow the above steps.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Can I change the caller ID location?. How can I change the caller ID location? It shows a town nearby (Annapolis) or some times a regional name (North Bay area) but not our actual location (Vallejo).

The change would need to be made with the National Database that all the carriers "dip" when presenting a CLID to the terminating point through the individual carrier's network.  Have you set your CNAM with RC?

Is there a way to set the default for the whole organization to be a direct line instead of the company line?

Can you tell me if the 19.3 release is now available or if not, when it will be?  I would also like to update this for our phone lines as well.
