Well, Teliax says they "have no access to the PSTN's database", but I'm suggesting they check out TargusInfo as mentioned above. One of their suggestions, is to contact the local ILEC to get the number published in their white pages. Will that accomplish the same thing (I doubt it).<br>

In the long run, you will be best served using your own lookup of a database
using CALLERID(num), since CID(name) is unreliable and in some cases costly.
IMO, you would be well served with an app (AGI?) that recorded valid names into
the database and let you insert the names where they aren’t.</span></font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi Folks, having an issue with outbound calls through a VOIP provider.
Calls get sent out with the CallerID(number), but where does callerID(name)
come from? Apparently not from provider, as we are seeing different (sometime
missing) names on inbound calls, different than what we have configured.
Apparently this comes from some telco database somewhere? Numbers were ported
from a wired-telco.<br>
