Display Dashes in UI when Displaying a Phone Number - donguanella - 11-12-2014 02:59 AM

Is there a way to display dashes in the UI for the T48G when displaying a phone number?

Right now when you dial a number, it is displayed:

9995551212

Our users preference is to have it displayed as:

999-555-1212

Is there anyway in the phone's settings to accomplish this?

Hi donguanella,

This is a yealink technical support, nice to contact you.
Sorry, because there is no unified standard, so we haven't this feature.
Thank you for your suggestion and I will push this suggestion to product department.

If you have control of the pbx, you may be able to have it modify the caller id format before sending the invite to the phone. Just be careful to also allow that format to dial out, as people re-dialing from call logs will send back the dashed format.
