[asterisk-users] OT: Question on Caller ID (Spoofing calls with Asterisk)

[David Duffett]

Asterisk can set any Caller ID name and number you want with the CALLERID()
function.

Type 'core show function CALLERID()' on the Asterisk command line to get
the details.

Whether your trunk will convey the Caller ID you have set is another matter
- and entirely the choice of your outbound carrier.
