    I want calls made from call back to customers to show a random number.

    Hi Nuttapong, it isn't possible at this stage to do something like that, but a larger more important question is whether you can actually do that within compliance and regulations/laws in the region you're operating this in.  A number of countries these days have quite strong rules in place over what #s can be presented in different scenarios and presenting numbers that may not belong to them is usually frowned up.  But if it's random numbers actually owned by the org you're working with, my original statement is still worth noting that you can't at this stage take that level of control over the outbound caller ID.

    Closing disclaimer though - as always happy for someone else to jump if I'm not aware of some trick to do this.

    OK, so never say never. Most things can be achieved, but you have to ask if the effort is worth it...

    Firstly, you haven't made it clear whether this is manually dialed calls or using Dialer.

    If you are using Dialer, then you can add a column to the contact list which you can pre-populate with all the random numbers. You then use a pre-call Rule to switch out the Call ID. This doesn't auto-randomize, but it will have the same effect. This technique is often used by outbound call centers to make calls appear local (they buy a few numbers in each Area Code and then switch it out.)

    Manually Dialed calls would require a little more finesse. Depending on volume, this may not work, or run into race conditions, but you could create a Data Action to call the /api/v2/routing/queues/{queueId} endpointo to update the Calling Party Number for the Queue. You then create a Trigger to activate when a call disconnects, which calls the Data Action. In side the Workflow, you would need to figure out how to select the "next" number.

    So, doable, but is it worth it?

    Also, as @Vaun McCarthy said, you may run foul of regulations - especially if you do not own the numbers! (Assuming your Telco allows this to happen as well....)

    As everyone has mentioned, if I have received 10 phone numbers from a service provider and want to display the time when calls are made from those numbers, is it possible to randomize the display of the numbers among the 10 that I have?

    You have not clarified whether with the dialer or manually.

    As Paul said above, using the dialer you can do this by adding a column in with the 10 numbers you spoke of.  You can even match those numbers up with the numbers you are dialing. In the USA, we use data actions to match a random (yet owned) phone number to the area code of the number being dialed.

    For example, dialer is calling 480-555-1212, so the data action chooses one of several owned numbers in the 480 area code and displays that number, for example 480-222-1212
