[asterisk-users] If caller id is null set to a specific number

[Jon Weisman]

Yes Eric, they are not the same. I should have worded it differently.

I'm a little confused because the issue seems to me this particular DID 
provider is not sending me the ANI if the caller's number is private. On all 
our other carriers we still get the ANI even if its a private number. Any 
suggestions how to handle this? Is there a way to set the ANI if its 
missing?

Thanks,
Jon
