In the US, there are CNAM databases that not all providers have access too. For example, flowroute, even though they are an excellent VOIP provider in terms of cost and quality of calls, they are not able to set outbound CNAM for me. Vitelity can do it, but I believe they charge you a set rate per CNAM entry per DID. Telcentris will add it as part of your sign up fee, as will Bandwidth.com, I think. It usually all comes down to your provider. If nothing else, ask them about setting up CNAM for your DID. I've run into the responses you've gotten from sip providers before asking about setting up callerid, because they thought I was referring to the number portion, not the name. <br>
