🆔 Caller Line Identification (CLI) Explained

Last updated on Feb 05, 2026

CLI displays the caller’s phone number on your handset or PBX.

However, caller ID is not always available. Reasons include:

  • Caller has blocked their ID

  • Mobile carriers protect privacy by default

  • Overseas callers

  • VoIP privacy settings

  • Some government agencies always present “Private Number”

This is normal and not a fault of your inbound number.
