[asterisk-users] CallerID on Indian PSTN is not working.

[Danny Nicholas]

Another thing to consider (hopefully not covered in one of the 100 previous
replies) - Callerid is a "hit and miss" proposition;  to get "ABC Widgets
<205-555-1212>", The Telco has to have ABC Widgets in their database and
publish it.  If not, you get "Unknown <205-555-1212>".  Since a good chunk
of business get their calls from "known sources", an approach previously
discussed here is to try Telco first, then reference a database of frequent
callers if Unknown is return.  HTH.

Are you even paying for the service?

Here in the US, on PSTN lines from the ILEC's, CallerID is a pay 
service, with 2 tiers. Number only, and number with name.
Some CLEC's include this without extra charge, as do most/all VOIP 
providers.

Do you have a box or phone, independent of the Asterisk box, that can 
display CallerID? Make sure first it is being delivered to you. You 
could also monitor the line on incoming calls and listen for the 
information being sent.
You also need to determine what "standard"  or protocol is used to send 
the information, as worldwide there are several.
