@AI Evy when transferring a call to someone, I want the callee to see the caller ID of the caller and not the Retell agent

Thanks for tagging me @Sanjay. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer --- You can configure the caller ID setting in the Transfer Call Tool to show the user's number instead of the Retell agent's number. [(1) ]() In your Transfer Call Tool settings, look for "Configure Caller ID (Optional) " and select "User's Number" — the transfer destination will then see the number of the original caller. Important limitations to be aware of: - The telephony provider must support caller ID override for this to work. - For warm transfers, Retell uses SIP DIAL and sets the

headers to the user's number. - For cold transfers, Retell uses SIP REFER, and caller ID override support depends on your telephony provider. - Retell Twilio numbers support showing the user's number on both warm and cold transfers. - Retell Telnyx numbers only support this when using SIP REFER via cold transfer. - If caller ID override is not supported by your provider, the transfer will fail. If you're experiencing transfer failures with "User's Number" selected, it may indicate your telephony provider doesn't fully support caller ID override for your transfer type. [(2) ]()
