Hi all.

I have a 3300 on MiVB8 with a requirement to have incoming calls identified and name of caller displayed on IP phones.
The concept is to add telephone number and names to a telephone directory. I get an error when I attempt.
How is this achieved on the 3300?

The information would have to be provided in the incoming caller id. That's a carrier function and not programmable in the MCD

I suppose you're entitled to your opinion, I'm just not going to suppose very hard.

My Telco provide caller ID in the form of numbers only and I want to tally the numbers with names.

Read about alpha tagging

what version of MiVB is it

on latest you can use link to AD

contacts with calling line id in telephone field ( we do ip phone as well for micollab) should show the associated name on 69xx series phones

like alpha tagging without having to add the names to the mivb phone book

If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

It is on MIVB release 8 with a mixture of 53 series and 69 series phones. No AD and no Micollab.

As jpruder says, look into Alpha Tagging

Alpha Tagging is the answer as mentioned by others earlier in the thread.
