Sure. Amex, Bank of America, many corporate entities with outgoing call centers have specific numbers they want you to call back on, and want you to enjoy the Toll Free-ness of it all. Having the callerID show up as the 8xx number you should call back is something people find convenient. We can argue all day that it's insecure and whatnot, but I think there are legit reasons to set a valid Toll Free number as CallerID. Of course, that makes billing more difficult. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [email protected] http://www.angryox.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
