[asterisk-users] Caller ID (name) - where does it come from?

[Barry D. Hassler]

Well, Teliax says they "have no access to the PSTN's database", but I'm
suggesting they check out TargusInfo as mentioned above. One of their
suggestions, is to contact the local ILEC to get the number published in
their white pages. Will that accomplish the same thing (I doubt it).
