[asterisk-users] PRI timing settings

[Eric Wieling]

CallerID Name doesn't really matter.  Either your carrier will remove it when handing the call off to the next hop or the terminating carrier will ignore any CallerID name data and do a name lookup in their own database using the CallerID number.   This is why your CallerID name can be different depending on which carrier is used for the receiving phone number.

What about the text portion?  Should that never be sent?  I was indeed sending the '1', and I will remove that to see if it solves my problem, but I also have the company name in there.  I feel like a newb asking such questions, but I've never had this issue before :)

"Company" <1NXXNXXXXXX>

Cheers,

NXXNXXXXXX is the correct format of CallerID numbers in NANPA.   The leading 1 is not part of any NANPA phone number.   Toll free "area codes" are also not valid for CallerID.

I wrote earlier today about a new PRI installation in the Caribbean, where all outbound calls are functioning fine *except* calls to Sprint phone numbers, which get rejected immediately as "busy".

I don't know what expectations for CLID your carrier might have, or for that matter the upstream carrier, however, we found through our CLEC here in the US that while the CLEC was happy to take e.164 formatted numbers from us as CLID, Global Crossing would reject them further upstream resulting in our calls to many toll frees being rejected.

Switching to 10 digit CLID on all outbound calls through that PRI solved the problem.

I don't know if this is your problem but be sure your CLID is in the most simple format possible for your region to help rule it out.

This makes me curious... what *is* the simplest format possible for NANPA numbers?  I'm sure there must be a spec to conform to.  Can anyone point me to it?
