[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID, Called ID and Forwarded ID
Last month I saw something funny which I can't reproduce anymore: A 0500 number in .au is a service phone number and are forwarded on exchange level to a real phonenumber. So if A calls B it gets forwarded to C. Very simple. Now the funny thing, on the phone of C, I saw both A and B as the "caller id". I've been asking around and trying to get it again with a private 0500 number, but haven't been able to recreate the behaviour. It could be a special Q.931 option, it could be a random fluke of the system, it just could be standard practise. Has anybody ever seen this behaviour or know more of it?

I have my .au mobile forwarded to my .pg mobile when I travel to .pg, lately I have seen the actuall caller number (about 50% of the time) on my .pg cell phone display. It used to be that I would see my .au cell phone number as the number that was calling. As I say, this happens about 50% of the time, and has only happened in the last 2 to 3 months. Seems like a Telstra thing with exchange level call forwarding? Regrds, T
