AFAIK, this is disabled by default on all BT lines. I assume they are able to send it, but being BT they will probably want to charge you a monthly fee for it. It may be that if it is being sent, it is not being picked up by Asterisk - A "pri debug" dump might help you see what is being received. Regards, Steve

BT may do it, I am in the States and never used BT, but just bear in mind that ANI can be spoofed similar to CallerID. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think I understand what you mean now. The biggest difference between CLI and ANI is that ANI can't be blocked/withheld (like you can with CLI by using 141). It also uses different signalling. This is mainly used by law enforcement agencies to trace calls etc. So, you want the number - regardless of what the user dials. I presume you are some sort of 'carrier' then. You'll be lucky to get the information otherwise as it throws up all sorts of privacy laws (ie. you have to have a damn good reason for wanting it). BT are the main people to ask I suppose (unless your calls go through another main carrier). I'm not even sure if ANI signalling is implemented in Asterisk - one for the config file writers ;).

Dear All, I have a small call center in which I have to define least cost routing for outbound calls. For now I have always done this by routing numbers to different providers according to the number prefix. However, a new law became effective now which allows people to switch between providers without changing their telephone numbers. This makes least cost routing based on number prefixes much less effective. Are there any known solutions for this? Thanks in advance, Alex
Alex, What country is your call center located?
