I have a couple of DIDs with Viatalk, they provide CNAM and they don't use an accurate lookup. I have one LEC provided line and it doesn't show the correct name and I have had that number for about 5 months.

I have a strong suspicion that some CLECs are _not_ using the same SS7 database as they are supposed to be. Before I moved away from Phoenix, I had telephone service provided by the cable company (Cox). Not only were there CNAMs frequently wrong due to looking up the wrong number, when they did look up the right number they often provided an 'old' name for that number. They would never admit this, of course, but I believe they are using an 'alternative' CNAM database which costs less to query, and also is crap :-) In fact, another CLEC that I buy PRIs from has told me that when I send them CNAM updates it can take quite some time for all other LECs to start showing the new name. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
