[Asterisk-Users] Call forwarding and Caller ID

[John Fraizer]

With the following example, if the receptionist transferred your call to 
"**[your-extension", you would receive the call with the correct 
caller-ID number but with the name translated to be "Forwarded Call".


exten => **your-ext,1,Setcallerid(Forwarded Call <${CALLERIDNUM}>|a)
exten => **your-ext,2,Goto(context,your-extension,1)
