[Asterisk-Users] Overriding Caller ID

[Waldo Rubinstein]

Derek/Jeremy/Kevin,

Thank you all for your comments. I suspected the issue would be the  
fact that we don't have a PRI but a T1. However, I decided to post  
the question to the list simply because I would assume that because  
the carrier is looking at our circuit configuration when answering my  
questions, they should know we don't have a PRI and they should have  
told us that we need PRI or it won't work.

To address your previous post, we are setting it to a caller id of a  
number assigned to us.

I'm just confused simply because of the fact that the carrier never  
caught or mentioned that we don't have a PRI and I spoke with 4 of  
their engineers and 2 supervisors. Go figure. I guess it's time to  
switch to a better carrier that knows what the heck they're doing.

Thanks again,
Waldo
