Caller ID announcement

[jonpry]

I have a simple FreePBX setup (IVR + Ring Group #0 for certain extensions + direct extensions). I recently migrated from Grasshopper, and I’m looking for a solution that will hopefully work on FreePBX as well.

Is it possible to announce the caller ID when the receiver answers the call? This is how my setup worked in Grasshopper, and I’m hoping there is a simple solution to achieve the same behavior in FreePBX.

I’m using FreePBX v16.0.45

You can use the “Confirm Call” feature inside your Ring Groups.

If you need it outside ringgroups, like calls going directly to an extension, you will need a custom dialplan.
