[asterisk-users] CallerID presentation - presentation prohibited but still passing number

[phreak at phreaknet.org]

I've been able to pass presentation status between tandems without 
needing to do anything explicitly. This seems to be part of the Caller 
ID that is transmitted without explicit intervention. Have you tested 
without using the u option? I've never used the u option and not had 
issues with presentation transmitting as supposed to. This is with 
manual Set(CALLERID(pres)=something) and then seeing if it gets honored 
on the other end. The remote Asterisk gets the full number, of course, 
but the called telephone does not display it. Perhaps the u option is 
intended for lines, not trunks, and so the number never gets sent?

The only time I've found I (may) need to explicitly account for 
presentation is if I am regenerating the call, and then this needs to be 
accounted for in the call file (ignore that if that makes no sense).

The only inconsistency I've encountered has to do with presentation 
mismatches between the name and the number. If, for instance, I want the 
number to display but not the same, setting the presentations as the 
documentation would suggest does not work. The behavior is inconsistent 
between different SIP clients and it didn't work for me in any logical 
way. I didn't bother to a file a bug report about it, as I worked around 
this by simply doing Set(CALLERID(name)=) to empty the name and write 
the original name back into the variable after the call. Your mileage 
may vary.
