I just dialed all those numbers you gave that failed for you from my
Cisco 7960 speaking SIP to my Asterisk box that is connected via PRI (to
my CLEC switch) which is connected to the PSTN.<br><br>
When you have explicitly sent the caller id (ANI) try calling another
phone from your Asterisk PBX (like on your desk, your cell phone, or some
other that is connected to something on PSTN that is hopefully connected
to another carrier network) that displays caller ID digits to see if at
least the correct caller ID number comes through. This will help to
confirm the ANI is getting through Asterisk and on to the PSTN. The
name may not show...but at least the number should be correct. It
is possible you are sending the ANI but it is getting removed some place
in your local carrier's switch or someone other switch before it gets to
these toll-free numbers that fail. I have found if I fail to send
caller ID digits (ANI) some calls are not completed when I dial
them.<br><br>
Just as a test I commented out this line in my sip.conf for my Cisco 7960
phone:<br>
callerid="Jeff Crews" <(541) 624-2611)><br><br>
and now I cannot call any of numbers I just said I could dial...I get
this recording<br>
"your call did not go through please try your call again 0 9 3
T"<br><br>
with no failure logged on the Asterisk console.<br><br>
I restored my callerid line from above, told Asterisk to reload the
config...and I hit the redial button on the call that would not
complete...and it works now. So...I know that the caller ID can
have an impact. <br><br>
I hope this helps.<br><br>

<font size=2>I can't seem to figure out what is causing them not to pick up. Prior to using asterisk on our outbound PRI lines there was no problem. I tried explicitly setting callerid/ani etc on outbound calls, but so far no dice. Has anyone else had a similiar problem? What was the solution? Thanks,<br>
