[asterisk-users] Set(CALLERID(name)) when incoming call is "anonymous"

[Mark Engelhardt]

Kevin,

You might have luck changing the callerid number so its not empty, that might override the Anonymous label. 

exten => 12345678,1,GotoIf,$[${LEN(${CALLERID(num)})} != 0]?3
exten => 12345678,2,Set(CALLERID(num)=0)
exten => 12345678,3,  <Your code starts here>

Good luck! 

Mark
