Hey folks,
I have a T100P card with a PRI; when doing outbound dialing over the PRI,
I can use SetCIDNum(2024561414|a) to force caller ID to display as "The
White House" on a land line. This is apparently done as a reverse lookup
by Verizon, as I do not hand the PRI the words "The White House" --
202-456-1414 is an actual White House number.
Using SetCIDName("Flying Pigs") makes no difference to what is
displayed
on the remote landline. It still says "The White House" or whatever
the
reverse lookup is for the number supplied.
What I am wondering is whether a PRI has to have some feature turned on
in order to inject the textual Caller ID name data, or whether this is
just how PRI's work in general. And if so, who controls the reverse
mapping, and how does that work with CLEC phone numbers, etc?
Is anybody out there currently able to set CIDName to be something
different than the reverse lookup name? My goal is not to spoof the
White House, btw, but it makes a fun example.
Thanks,
Dave

The only way you're going to be able to set the textual CID information is if you're trunking to your own equipment (i.e. trunking to a Nortel Meridian system or something to that effect) Regards, Andrew

It's often a somewhat interesting process, and will only affect specific phone numbers -- the name doesn't travel with the call, it's retrieved as a seperate operation, and the request is routed back based off of the phone number. You can change your phone numbers to say whatever, but the White House's phone numbers can't be affected by you.> Is anybody out there currently able to set CIDName to be something > different than the reverse lookup name?

Beware even more the two-letter ones.yeah, impersonating the White House sounds like asking for trouble ;-] On topic: on most networks in europe you can't even fake the number, everything that does not belong to your BRI/PRI is simply rewritten to the primary number. BUT there is a service called UUS1 (UserUserSignaling), just some text which can sent with the setup-message. A few phones (like Ascom or Tiptel) can set and display this message. @kapejod, is there a change for a chan_capi that can read/set the uus1 to/from the ${CALLERIDNAME}...? A lot of (really big) pbxes (Meridian etc) also set the name of the caller...
