asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Setting caller id value on outgoing calls using .call files

Hi all,

I was looking at a way to add the caller id to the outgoing calls (which are
made using .call files) using asterisk. Any ideas how to do this ?
Currently I get 'Unknown' number displayed on my phone when asterisk
makes
an outgoing call.

Also using something like this is not working as it still displays unknown
number. I want set the callerid on the 1.call which is made.

exten => _.,4,Set(CALLERID(all)=Joe <911>)
exten => _.,5,system(cp /var/spool/asterisk/1.call
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/)

Any suggestions how to do that.

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Add a "CallerID: whatever" line to your callfile.

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out has a
reference of the callfile contents.

You need to set the Caller ID in the call file itself.  The sample call
file (sample.call) in the Asterisk source contains the following line:


Callerid: Wakeup Call Service <(555) 555-5555>

Hopefully that gets you going in the right direction.

Add
Callerid: Name <123>
to the call file.

Two things:

1. You use a copying. Which means:
 - Create /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/1.call
 - Start writing content from original to new
 - close that 1.call

If Asterisk catches the call file in the middle of copying, you have a
problem.

2. "_." may behave unexpectedly, I guess.
