<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Having trouble getting answer
from Verizon. I believe Asterisk will let me specify a name and number
that is sent to the PSTN (Verizon) of outgoing calls. For instance, if I
have a client, First Bank, and their toll free number is 888-555-1234, I could
send that name and number. Verizon is telling me that they will forward
the number I send them, but the name will be my company's name. I can't
get an answer from them if this is a technical problem due to old equipment at
their switching office; or if it is just a policy/law issue; or they just
plain don't want to. Does anyone have any answers to this? Any
responses or comments are welcome.</FONT></DIV>

class=031201304-15092004>Who "owns" the telephone number that the callerid
number is being set to (you or the customer)? Are the outbound calls being
sent over PRI or via IAX or SIP? I have a similar issue where I send outbound
calls to a termination provider over IAX. I set the callerid number and
name to my company's telephone number and name. Unfortunately my business
isn't the customer on record with Qwest for that telephone number, so Qwest
allows me to set the outbound callerid number but ignores my attempts to set the
callerid name. Instead they replace the name with whatever name is
actually on the account for that telephone number. (Hope I'm being
clear...)</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
