[Asterisk-Users] Is there a way to get inserted into an LEC's CLI DB?

[Jed Stafford]

We offer that service for our termination customers,
however we can only provide it for (206) area code
numbers. So what we find is people who don't care as
much about the number and more about their callerid
lookup such as businesses and call centers opt to
utilize it. We can even change the name with 1
business days notice, it's pretty cool.
