Yes... 1.5 cents per dip... you prepay the fees... and they
deduct from
the prepaid amount. You can start with $5.00 which seems like a
low-risk
to "check it out" at least.
The CLEC I use is more expensive that that for CNAM, and they want
to do
it on EVERY incoming call, even wrong numbers, whether it's
answered or
not, per PRI. So since I get several thousand wrong numbers a
month, and
only 100 or so calls that I actually CARE what the CNAM is on
those calls,
I can set it up in Asterisk to only do the dip for certain DNIS
numbers.
I calculated that instead of $70+/month this will cost me $1.50/month.
Nice savings. :-)
I just hope it's reliable when the call volume picks up more.
I gave this a shot yesterday. I figure I can stand to lose $5 if it
sucks. Which for someone in Canada, it does. Granted, their website
is somewhat hazy on whether or not they support Canadian CNAM - part
of the page says "can I look up numbers outside the US and Canada"
while part says "outside the US", then the body says "we don't support
non-NANPA numbers". Pretty much every number I have tried to look up
so far for Toronto/GTA just gives me back the city for the name, so I
get a bunch of "NORTH YORK ON" and "TORONTO ON" or "CELLPHONE ON"
results back, but no actual names.
I've gotten a few correct hits back on company numbers, but just as
many wrong ones. The Hilton in Edmonton's number comes back as "GTCO
CALCOMP", and a company I deal with in Mississauga (in the 905 NPA)
comes back as "ETOBICOKE ON" (which is in 416).
On the upside, it did find "PIZZA PIZZA" correctly. /sigh
Of course, this is all via their web portal. I am completely unable
to connect via their AGI port as provided in their "sample
configuration" page. I get connection refused, which under a stock
1.2 Asterisk drops the call, so I can't leave the dialplan logic
intact in the hopes that this is a transient error. Attempts to
telnet to the port given via their portal are met with an immediate
RST packet, suggesting that their fastagi service is down.
At least the cost to play was cheap. IMO, it's not ready for
production usage (at least under 1.2 - under 1.4 you can recover from
a failure to connect to an AGI service and continue dialplan execution)
