Hello all, further to Rob's message, could I ask does zaptel.conf or
Zapata.conf need anything further (for caller ID) to allow the setting of
caller ID, as my below E1 pri debug shows that Asterisk seems to be
correctly sending the necessary Q931 instructions to the carrier (Colt) to
set the caller ID, yet cell phone still shows call as "Withheld"

Any thoughts? Or is this now an issue that now must be directed to the
carrier? (Note that actual tel number below has had digits blanked for this
post, but prior to blanking digit length correct)
Many thanks for all and any thoughts.
Magnus

That's really up to your carrier.  Many carriers to not allow customers 
to set the Caller*ID number.  I don't know of ANY that let you set the 
Caller*ID name.
