[Asterisk-Users] Suppressing CallerID in .call files

[Henry Devito]

Most LEC's & CLEC's, at least in our area, require sending a number (CSID)
before the call is completed.  This is do to E911 features and ANI.  If you
do not send a number the call will fail.  If you truly want to block caller
ID I would contact your carrier and they should be able to block it on their
level.

Have a good Day!

I'm not the original poster, but I think this will not work. Just changing 
the Calling Number (where the callerid field ends up in the isdn setup 
message) to nothing will most of the time just make the pstn provider set 
it to the default. In fact, setting the Calling Number outside your did 
will normally make the pstn set the main number as the caller id.

Isdn provides a means to supress caller id with a similar effect to what 
you can get on an analog line by dialing a prefix. I think this is what 
the original poster is after.
