IVR CallerID Prefix Not Working

[Robert Birch]

I maybe doing something wrong, but I am trying to send a CallerID Prefix to an extension by setting the Caller ID Name Prefix option in the IVR page.



But it doesn't seem to get passed. If I check the call detail record, I don't see the prefix being added.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi, Did anyone get a change to take a look into this? It's not working. I'm at version 4.5.18.

Hi, Anyone please.

I added a prefix to a test IVR and it did not prepend the caller id after choosing an option either. Is that the way it is suppose to work?

I'm also having the same issue. It's not working.

@markjcrane can you please advise?

The only way I could get it to work, was to go to DialPlan Manager and select the entry for the IVR in question.
I then had to click the XML button and add the following line:

<action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name=ENG#${caller_id_name}"/>

Where ENG is the prefix. Save it and it works. Issue is, if you modify the IVR, this addition will be lost, and you need to add the line in again.

This is on Fusion 4.4.8. I haven't tried/tested on 4.5 yet.

Thanks

For anyone else, I just tried this. It seems if you use a : (IE Test: ) as a prefix, then the prefix is not included. If I just did Test then the caller ID shows up Test#Caller ID info.

This is on 4.5

My Prefix is showing twice Test# Test# 1234567890, any thoughts what would cause this ?
