Yes... 1.5 cents per dip... you prepay the fees... and they deduct from<br>
the prepaid amount. You can start with $5.00 which seems like a
low-risk<br>
to "check it out" at least.<br>
<br>
The CLEC I use is more expensive that that for CNAM, and they want to
do
<br>
it on EVERY incoming call, even wrong numbers, whether it's answered or<br>
not, per PRI. So since I get several thousand wrong numbers a month,
and<br>
only 100 or so calls that I actually CARE what the CNAM is on those
calls,
<br>
I can set it up in Asterisk to only do the dip for certain DNIS numbers.<br>
<br>
I calculated that instead of $70+/month this will cost me $1.50/month.<br>
Nice savings. :-)<br>
<br>
I just hope it's reliable when the call volume picks up more.

I gave this a shot yesterday. I figure I can stand to lose $5 if it
sucks. Which for someone in Canada, it does. Granted, their website
is somewhat hazy on whether or not they support Canadian CNAM - part of
the page says "can I look up numbers outside the US and Canada" while
part says "outside the US", then the body says "we don't support
non-NANPA numbers". Pretty much every number I have tried to look up
so far for Toronto/GTA just gives me back the city for the name, so I
get a bunch of "NORTH YORK ON" and "TORONTO ON" or "CELLPHONE ON"
results back, but no actual names.
<br>
<br>
I've gotten a few correct hits back on company numbers, but just as
many wrong ones. The Hilton in Edmonton's number comes back as "GTCO
CALCOMP", and a company I deal with in Mississauga (in the 905 NPA)
comes back as "ETOBICOKE ON" (which is in 416). <br>
<br>
On the upside, it did find "PIZZA PIZZA" correctly. /sigh<br>
<br>
Of course, this is all via their web portal. I am completely unable to
connect via their AGI port as provided in their "sample configuration"
page. I get connection refused, which under a stock 1.2 Asterisk drops
the call, so I can't leave the dialplan logic intact in the hopes that
this is a transient error. Attempts to telnet to the port given via
their portal are met with an immediate RST packet, suggesting that
their fastagi service is down.
<br>
<br>
At least the cost to play was cheap. IMO, it's not ready for
production usage (at least under 1.2 - under 1.4 you can recover from a
failure to connect to an AGI service and continue dialplan execution)<br>
