[asterisk-biz] Plonking Tier 1 SIP Providers?

[Jacob Suter]

Is there *ever* a legitimate reason to do this?

I personally drop all calls from illegitimate CIDs (toll free #'s, area
codes that don't exist, etc)

After a 45 day logging period, we discovered exactly 100% of our 'toll free'
caller ID calls were for unsolicited telemarketing.  Of course, in over 75%
of the calls, the 'legitimate caller ID' would have been somewhere in
south/southeast Asia.

I know if I'm doing it, there must be a pile more doing it too...

I do know vitality lets you send any caller ID you want.  One of my office
extensions was shooting 1234567890 as its caller ID for a few months quite
successfully (displayed on my cellphone).  Oops.

Geoff,

We would like to use Teliax however the only issue we ran into was that 
you don't allow us passing our 800 number as the Caller ID.  If there is 
a way around this we'd be interested in discussing colo and using you guys.

Thanks,
Dave
