asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Is it possible to ID payphone calls?

Hello I have a 800 DID setup to dial into my Asterisk server and I'm
wondering if it's possible to ID when it's a payphone or not?  I
suspect it's not since I'm getting calls from someone else's SIP or
IAX box.

If I had a digium card installed and connected to a couple lines would
I be able to get this information and parse it?

Thanks,
Jess

At the risk of not being thorough enough and then being corrected!


Jess, information indicator digits are made available when using a t-1
with feature group d like setup or on  a PRI also setup like a Feature
group D.  I say like only because in most circumstances here in the US
II's are not part of the original setup and you have to request to have
them added by the carrier.  In PRI, with an ATT switch they are
generally made available through the use of Codeset 6 and are pre-pended
to the ANI of the calling party.  If MF separated by KP ST or DTMF
delivery then separated by asterisk sign.  

Hope this helps!

Yes it is possible via the ISDN OLI.  It will tell you what
the call is originating from.  Not sure if * will decode the OLI 
or not.

The carrier of your toll free should send you indication that it is
from a pay phone or not since some do enforce a surcharge to calls
originating from a payphone. Probably be best to contact who providers
the toll free DID to get proper clarification based on how their
system works.
