I would like to have a local callerID database.
Some websites allow you to look up a phone number and return a name/address. As a possible add-on to this, I have an agi script that looks up caller ID information on a few of these websites. It is written in C/C++. Currently these scripts are limited to Dutch numbers, since those are basically the only ones that I need. But I figure some kind of plug-in architecture could be made that allows looking up phone numbers from more than one source (currently just the hoodaheck mysql table, from what I understand). I am not sure if elsewhere in the world also websites like this exist (for other countries). I am posting this just like a (IMHO) useful idea. Any comments?

OK Great, I'll give it a shot. I did find this other option http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20050309.013714.2d1bf446.en.html , but I do not really want to imbed this info in the asterisk database if I can have it external.

In fact, I've been contemplating adding in a lot of functionality for doing things like interacting with cellphone APIs, etc. for various ways of notifying. Alternate data sources are something to consider, too. If anyone has more information on websites like this, I'd be happy to look into them.

(note: this other option did work when tested)Yeah, I tried that when I first started this project. Then I decided that I wanted something that had the ability to grown beyond that simple format, and an external AGI script setup seemed the best. I now have plans for the database to extend beyond simply holding numbers and names, but to holding addresses, contact information, and more importantly, to holding information about what Asterisk should DO with the call -- send it to voicemail, send it to a torture script, etc -- without having to write the dialplan for it.
