Title: UBoss Basic Phone Service and passing Caller ID
Post by: CallMeMaybe on Sep 22, 2025, 22:39:48
Hi there,
I've a question about UBoss, call forwarding and passing the Caller ID that I'm hoping someone can help with.

If we setup call forwarding on UBoss, would the external caller's ID be passed to my mobile in the following scenario (so that I can see who's calling)?

External caller ➡ UBoss number ➡ my mobile phone


Many thanks in advance.

Hi, :welc:

Making the switch to UBOSS is something I've been putting off while I still have a copper landline, but hopefully someone will be able to answer your question.   

Caller ID through call divert always worked through PSTN line, so I'd be quite disappointed if it didn't work with VoIP.

Hi,

Yes, I Have my UBoss on divert at the moment and can confirm I receive the number of the orignal caller and not the Uboss number.

Is it safe to presume from both of these messages that Caller ID works well with UBOSS?  Just asking because we had a long thread on here from someone who was having problems with it, and that's one of the reasons I've been holding back.
