Caller ID Prefix

User and Call Queue allow you to set a Caller ID prefix. A Caller ID prefix will appear for the phones when they receive the call.

You can use this to label incoming calls based on what a caller selects in an auto attendant. For example, labeling a call with billing or sales so you know who the caller wants to speak to.
