asterisk users - Sep 2008 - Bell Canada (Nortel DMS100) PRI Outbound CNAM issue

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to send CallerID Name information out to the PSTN via a PRI 
with Bell Canada with no success.  With inbound calls (originating from 
the PSTN) CNAM is received successfully, and we've not had any similar 
problems with other Telco PRIs, so I'm stumped.

This depends greatly on where you are calling. Most telco's will lookup the
name based on the number and will not use the name sent though the ss7 network.

One way to test this is to call your self on you PRI.

It was only from reading the other folo to your query that I found out
that *any carrier* *ever* gets CNAM to send it to an FXS by any means
*other* than a database dip, myself.
