Hey Everyone, I am using NuFone for 866 inbound service and I am trying to figure out the callerid part of it. Any call into my * system just shows "Toll Free Call" and will not give me the calling party's caller ID info. Is this just something I have to live with using NuFOne, or did I miss some type of config in * that will grab the callerID other than the inbound 866 number...? Thanks !! ****************************************** Richard J.

The last time this came up, it looked like most (if not all) VoIP 800-number providers were in the same boat. Scott

This is because it costs them more to provide the Name service. -- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Mark Twain
