[asterisk-users] DID and how the caller id will appear

[Eric Wieling]

CallerID is your country code + city/area code + telephone number.  Do not set the leading 0, that is not part of the Caller*ID.

Example London UK number, country code 44, area code 20, number 1234-5678:  Set(CALLERID(num)=442012345678

Dear;

By the way, the asterisk version that I have is 1.8.4.2 and DAHDI version is 2.4.1.2

Here I would like to mention the following:

1) As per the telecom provider, they said they openned for us all the digits to send (two digits, 4 digits, all the digits ...) as they said. 

2) The caller id appear for me at the CLI as: 5631030 (and actually this is the primary key).

3) I am settings in the systems.conf file the loadzone to be uk us and the defaultzone to be uk, does this effect? Maybe I have to set us.

4) I am sending the numbers within my range it is from 5631030 to 5631059, and actually I tried to set the caller id to be 40, 1040, 5621040, and 065621040

5) It is E1 ISDN.

6) About the: 

Set(CALLERID(pres)=allowed)

How can I know the updated changes?
By the way: is it important to be set?

7) How about the Set(CALLERID(num)=1040), is it in the right syntax or also need to be updated? Also, should I use Set(CALLERID(num)=1040) or Set(CALLERID(num)=<1040>)?

What other factors I am missing? What I have to check?

Regards
Bilal
