04/14/2026, 3:21 PMfrom and P-Asserted-Identity headers to the user's number [(1) ]() . For cold transfer specifically, it's up to the telephony provider to support caller ID override for SIP REFER .
How to verify:
1. Check Twilio's call logs - Look at the call details for transferred calls in your Twilio console. The logs should show what caller ID was presented to the transfer destination.
2. Test with a known number - Make a test call and transfer it to a number you control. Check what caller ID appears on the receiving end.
3. Review Twilio's SIP trunk configuration - Ensure your Twilio elastic SIP trunk is configured to allow SIP REFER and PSTN transfers with caller ID override enabled.
The documentation confirms that Retell Twilio numbers support showing the user's number on both warm and cold transfer , but the actual caller ID presentation depends on Twilio's handling of the SIP REFER request with the headers Retell provides.AI Evy
