[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID problem

[Oswaldo Arratia]

Thanks for the pointer, makes sense.
Although I am not using zaptel, I am sending the calls via SIP to my Cisco
AS5300 which is connected via PRI to my provider and it happens to be set
like NI2.
I will test and will let you know.

Thanks!!!
 
Oswaldo

When we ran into this with certain carriers, it was because we were using
PRI NI-2 to our CLEC, but not setting the isdn numbering type to 'national'
(it was set to 'unknown' or something else.)

Apparently, some carriers look at that bit before deciding to accept/display
the CLID, some don't.

Try setting the following in your zaptel.conf:
  switchtype=national

and see if it makes any difference.
