<div dir="ltr">Most CNAM info is pulled from a database (or multiple databases) run by the various telcos using the ANI number passed as the search term. This is usually the name the account is under. Many of the telcos charge for each entry pulled from the database. This is why you'll sometimes just see Cellular Caller or the state the call is coming from. The receiving switch can be configured to use the CNAM sent by the caller, but I have yet to come across one on the PSTN.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">-- <br>Matt Brei<br>Network Security/IP Telephony Engineer<br><a href="mailto:mattbrei@gmail.com" target="_blank">mattbrei@gmail.com</a><br></div></div></div></div></div>
