asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Is there a way to get inserted into an LEC's CLI DB?

Does anyone know if there's a service out there to -- for a fee -- 
inject our DID into the LEC's CLI database so a called party gets our 
associated name?

No, only if the LEC servicing the number offers it to you. It is the 
responsibility of the operator running the switch that the number routes 
to via SS7 to manage the LIDB, CNAM, ALI and other database entries 
related to that number.

We offer that service for our termination customers,
however we can only provide it for (206) area code
numbers. So what we find is people who don't care as
much about the number and more about their callerid
lookup such as businesses and call centers opt to
utilize it. We can even change the name with 1
business days notice, it's pretty cool.
