Caller ID Display Issues on Second Outbound Calls in Contact Center Queues
When agents place a second call while already on an existing call, the caller ID often does not display the queue's program name or number, causing confusion. This appears to default to trunk info caller ID for additional outbound calls instead of the queue caller ID.
Use Cases
Some of our call center procedures, particularly around the practice of placing second and third calls while already handling an existing call and case. For example, when our agents are on a call with an insurance company and need to call back the patient to confer in, this additional call is not advertised as part of a queue. Consequently, patients may become confused when they see an unfamiliar caller ID, given that we manage multiple medical queues, each displaying its own program name or toll-free number.
To mitigate any confusion and ensure a smooth experience for our patients, it is important that we clearly explain this process to them during our initial interaction. This way, they will understand why they might receive calls from different numbers and will be better prepared to handle the situation.

Subject: ANI phone number rather than Agent Name
The ANI column in the performance view is not well named. If will show a name if one is associated with the call rather than the actual ANI (there is already another column for the name...but for some reason they decided to show it instead of the actual ANI in this column as well)
There is no way that I've found to get it to display the actual ANI when an agent is involved on the outbound call

Subject: ANI phone number rather than Agent Name
Hi there,
Currently, when our agents make outbound dials the ANI lists their name rather than the phone number they are calling from.

Is there anyway for us to set up the system to where we can see the ANI number rather than the agents name?
