Or for companies that dont share it, this is sometimes the issue for foreign originated calls. Caller id is sent via SS7, and some companies that do have caller id, and do have SS7 for other aspects for some reason do not transfer it globally. I have seen this from calls from the UK to the US for example (but not all such calls). In America the FCC basically requires that if you have caller id support you must pass caller id data, so most companies in the US pass caller id. The federal government however always seems to pass 000-000-0000, I guess to keep it 'private' but not trigger any privacy blockers so the call goes through. MCI sales team used to pass 'out of area' for the same reason. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
