I have a TELUS PRI for a while, resold via Bell... dropped it after a few months due to broken promises and failure to deliver /any/ of the things we said we required when ordering.

During this time, I learned that with a TELUS PRI you cannot send name. It's simply dropped at the switch. If you want a name to show up, you have to beg and plead for them to manually update a database of theirs. On top of this, that name will show up on *all* DIDs associated with your block, so you will have to either have no name, a generic name of sorts, or buy individual phone numbers at a higher rate and beg them each time to manually do the update.

If you find another way, please do share... but that is 6 months headache we had just to find out that it was impossible to send the name, despite the majority of their technicians stating otherwise.

This is in BC.  Maybe it's different in Alta?

Outbound calls on my Telus PRI aren't taking the Name portion of the callerID. I've looked at the logs, and it is being set (see below), but the PRI debug output doesn't show the name being sent anywhere. As a result, received calls always display from Unknown (or just the number).
Is there some config that I've missed somewhere?

I'm running NI-1 (Telus says NI-2 doesn't support the name feature, so they've changed my link type).
