Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP)
Short definition
Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP): A service that presents the calling party's number to the called party.
Meaning and how it works
Caller-ID presentation works when the network supplies the identity and the called endpoint is allowed to display it. Telephone numbering depends on national rules, carrier capabilities and the selected calling route. Customers benefit from consistent dialling formats and reliable number reachability.
Business applications
- Business scenario:
An employee sees the calling number on a phone display when its presentation is allowed.
What to check before implementation
Before deployment, verify geographical availability, permitted number formats, tariffs, caller-ID restrictions and both inbound and outbound calling behaviour.
