[asterisk-biz] Can I get "forwarded from" number?

[Nicky Smith]

Ok. I understand. Now I have another problem. My current number provider
does not give me RDNIS and doesn't want to take the time to help me. Can
anyone recommend a number provider (IAX or SIP) that will send me the RDNIS?

Nicky,

What protocol are you using to send the number to your Asterisk switch? 
For most protocols and switches, the original callerid should be 
preserved, and the redirecting number may be in the RDNIS (accessible as 
${CALLERID(rdnis)} in Asterisk) depending on whether the provider sets 
it or not.

If your provider (SIP or PRI) gives you RDNIS, that's exactly what you're 
looking for.

${CALLERID(rdnis)} is where it'll show up.
