asterisk users - Dec 2010 - OutCall for Outlook only shows Name from CLID and not Number - hence not pulling contact

Hi Everyone,

I am using OutCall 1.6 (latest) with Asterisk 1.6 and Windows Vista. I can
originate calls see the program login nicely but when a call comes in it
only shows the Name portion of the CLID and not the number hence it pulls up
a new contact on Outlook. The new contact only show name and last name and
no CLID Number again. So, this repeats every-time I call even if I manually
enter a number and save the contact or save it without a number.

Seems to me that Outcall is not harvesting the CLID number as it should or
maybe it's not passing it to outlook so that the old contact which already
exists for that number to be pulled. I am wondering if anyone else has
experienced this or if you guys think OutCall is really not reliable and I
should look for an alternative.

Please let me know if there is a solid alternative out there.

Thanks

Hello,

I dont know outcall but i can show you an alternative which really works
nice for my needs.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/siptapi/

this small program use the windows TAPI interface and dials out via sip.
But it only works for outgoing calls in the freeware version. For
inbound you have to buy it.

best regards

Stefan
