[asterisk-users] Help: CallerID Name not being sent on outbound PRI trunk

[Trevor Peirce]

I have a TELUS PRI for a while, resold via Bell... dropped it after a 
few months due to broken promises and failure to deliver /any/ of the 
things we said we required when ordering.

During this time, I learned that with a TELUS PRI you cannot send name.  
It's simply dropped at the switch.  If you want a name to show up, you 
have to beg and plead for them to manually update a database of theirs.  
On top of this, that name will show up on *all* DIDs associated with 
your block, so you will have to either have no name, a generic name of 
sorts, or buy individual phone numbers at a higher rate and beg them 
each time to manually do the update.

If you find another way, please do share... but that is 6 months 
headache we had just to find out that it was impossible to send the 
name, despite the majority of their technicians stating otherwise.

This is in BC.  Maybe it's different in Alta?
