How to show Caller ID name on Cisco ipphone over Asterisk PBX

[Shayan_Hoseini]

Hello Dear Community members,

Is there a way to show Caller ID name ( I mean the caller id name which is an extenstion in Asterisk for example -> ext-name : John   |  ext-num : 150 ) on cisco phone display?

e.g. :

Mark dials 150 and phone should show John/150 on Mark's phone display. But when the call is made, Mark's Phone will only show John's number. I want it to show the name and the number at the same time.

On other brands like Yealink and Polycom, this pattern is followed by default.

Thanks in advance.

in Asterisk you need to add this information :

[ext150]
type=friend
sendrpid=yes
context=National_Access
callerid="Jhon 150"

Wow, worked for me !!

Thank you dear balaji bandi. this option : sendrpid=pai is the reason why my cisco ipphone didn't show callerid of the callee.

I changed it to sendrpid=yes and it did the magic !!

Best wishes for you,

Your welcome,

In case if anyone is looking for this option, here is the path => /etc/asterisk/sip.conf

** If you are using a GUI version like Freepbx, you should go to the (Extensions) then select an extension and click edit. You'll see a tab called (Advanced) click it and then scroll down to find (Send RPID) and change it to (Send Remote Party ID Header)
