FW: [Asterisk-Users] Need a creative solution - Caller IDanda stupidupstream

[Paul Rodan]

Ok. I discovered that this flag will not work, it actually sets the caller
ID to the extension being dialed, ie:


exten => 1235551212,1,Dial(SIP/whatever,15,f)

works perfectly. The caller id will show 1235551212, however:

exten => 1212,1,Dial(SIP/whatever/15,f)

does not work. I believe it tries to set the caller ID to 1212, and
completely ignores what's in the sip.conf file in the "callerid=" field.
This would work fine for external callers, but if somebody wanted to dial an
internal extension, like 101, it'll try to set the caller ID to 101 and that
won't work. Office users would have to dial the 10 digit number. 

This would be fine for home users, but for internal offices this won't work.

I verified that the callerid field was being ignored on forward by setting
what's in the callerid field to 1235551213 and when I placed a normal call
from my voip phone to my cell, the caller ID did show 1235551213; however
when I did CFWDALL on my voip phone to go to my cell phone, I then called
the 1235551212 number with another cell phone, the number that showed up on
my cell phones caller ID was 1235551212;

Help anyone? I hate caller ID.


Ohh, and a side thought, how many of you out there had cell phone usage
triple since you got into VOIP? Hehe.

Hmmm... You're right, I must have missed that option. If this works, I do
apologize for wasting your valuable time. However, do I put this on the
outbound or inbound rule?

This rule:
; Local
exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/remote-asterisk at main-asterisk/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion

or do I put this on the actual extension of the person who has the CFwdALL
option set, this rule:

exten => 3024,1,Dial(SIP/sales1,20,r)
exten => 3024,2,VoiceMail(u3043)

This doesn't help?

       'f' -- Forces callerid to be set as the extension of the line
              making/redirecting the outgoing call. For example, some PSTNs
              don't allow callerids from other extensions then the ones
              that are assigned to you.


Of course you have to do a "show application dial" to see all the Dial() 
options.
