Additional Information

In 8x8 Work for Desktop The caller name displayed on Ring Group calls uses the Caller ID name presented by the caller. The name is only looked up in the contact directory if the incoming call does not include a caller name.

Note: This is only applicable when the Ring Group is configured to display Caller's Name, there are other options which do not show the Caller's Name.

Other than Ring Group calls, any other call would attempt to first resolve the number using the contact directory and then revert to the caller ID.
