Hello,

I am using 3CX Free on Version 20 Update 8 (Build 1121).

We have noticed that incoming calls to a queue are now displayed with a colon and the queue name, instead of only showing the phone number as before.

For example, it now shows something like:
: Queue Name
or the queue name together with the number.

I am quite sure that previously it only showed the caller’s phone number, without the queue name in front of it.

We see this behavior in:

  • the 3CX mobile app
  • the desktop softphone
  • the Admin/Panel view
My question is:
Is this expected behavior in 3CX Free / SMB for V20 Update 8, or has something changed recently?

And if this is controlled by the setting for adding the Group / Queue / DID name to Caller ID:
is that setting available in the Free version, or is it locked in Free / SMB?

I would like to know whether:

  1. this is normal behavior,
  2. this changed in a recent update,
  3. or whether there is any way to disable the queue name and show only the incoming number again.
Thank you.
