What is Calling Line Identification?
Calling Line Identification (CLI) is a telephony feature that displays the caller's phone number to the recipient during the call setup phase. This information allows the recipient to identify who is calling before answering, enhancing transparency and trust in communications. In contact centers, CLI is instrumental in recognizing incoming callers, enabling agents to access relevant customer information promptly and deliver personalized service.
