	All,
	 
	    Having trouble getting answer from Verizon.  I believe
Asterisk will let me specify a name and number that is sent to the PSTN
(Verizon) of outgoing calls.  For instance, if I have a client, First
Bank, and their toll free number is 888-555-1234, I could send that name
and number.  Verizon is telling me that they will forward the number I
send them, but the name will be my company's name.  I can't get an
answer from them if this is a technical problem due to old equipment at
their switching office; or if it is just a policy/law issue; or they
just plain don't want to.  Does anyone have any answers to this?  Any
responses or comments are welcome.
	 
	Thanks,
	 
	Bill 
	 

Bill:
 
Who "owns" the telephone number that the callerid number is being set to
(you or the customer)? Are the outbound calls being sent over PRI or via
IAX or SIP? I have a similar issue where I send outbound calls to a
termination provider over IAX.  I set the callerid number and name to my
company's telephone number and name.  Unfortunately my business isn't
the customer on record with Qwest for that telephone number, so Qwest
allows me to set the outbound callerid number but ignores my attempts to
set the callerid name.  Instead they replace the name with whatever name
is actually on the account for that telephone number. (Hope I'm being
clear...)
 
If I terminate calls directly to the PSTN via my X100P I can't do
anything of course....need a PRI for that I suppose.
