Subject: [asterisk-users] Polycom: full caller ID?

Hi, all.  When I get calls on my SoundPoints, I only see the number -- is
there a way to get the alpha portion of the CID, as well?

Thanks!

I'm guessing that you could set fullname in users.conf and correct this.
CallerID is a hit-or-miss proposition as documented elsewhere in this list.
Some TELCO's are very good (201-555-1212 Harry's wig Emporium) and others
not so (201-555-1212 Unknown caller) or (201-555-1212 Cell phone).  You can
address this internally for your most frequent callers.  You flip a coin on
"cold" calls.
