Description:Caller A (original CID information) calls B. B needs to transfer the call to C.

After a blind transfer the original CID information is available to the destination (C).

After a attended/consultion transfer of a call at the moment C can only view the CID infomation from B.

This happens with SIP firmware 1.6.7 an latest 2.x version.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

We also open a case at Polycoms JIRA as Consultion/attended transfers with original CID information.

I attach the ethereal protocolls of a blind and attended transfer.

This is what Polycom told me latest:
The display of Caller ID for transferred calls is a little complex within SIP signalling. I have not yet been able to pin-point the precise difference for the Blind Transfer and Consultative Transfer cases you detail.

At a high level, the Caller-ID displayed on the phone is extracted either from SIP header "From" field or (if present) the ?P-Asserted-Identity? and ?Remote-Party-ID? fields.

Call flows for transfers differ a little from call server to call server.

Have you tried asking this question on one of the Asterisk user groups?

I will continue to work on this as time allows, so please keep me informed on what you are able to determine with this information.

so that you know, this is not an "Asterisk user group", but a bug-tracker.

As per bug guidelines, you need to attach a SIP debug trace illustrating the problem. Please do the following:
1) Prepare test environment (reduce the amount of unrelated traffic on the server);
2) Make sure your logger.conf has the following line:
  console => notice,warning,error,debug
3) restart Asterisk with the following command:
  'asterisk -Tvvvvvdddddngc | tee /tmp/verbosedebug.txt'
4) Enable SIP transaction logging with the following CLI commands:
set debug 4
set verbose 4
sip debug
5) Trim startup information and attach verbosedebug.txt to the issue.

verbosedebug.txt is attached
client SIP/160 calls SIP/105, SIP/105 attended transfers the call to SIP/262

1. You have completely ommitted step 4
2. Do not presume we know your setup --> please explain who calls who and where is the callerid being lost...

When we transfer calls in the PBX, we can't update the caller ID display on the phone during a call. There's no SIp method for this and some phones have proprietary extensions in order to support this. Sorry.

Per oej's comment - not something we can easily accomplish and not a bug since we can't be expected to do it.
