Well, that's not strictly true. Configurations in BC and Alberta are different, a legacy of the pre BCTel/Telus merger days. BCTel had a lot of GTE Automatic Electric equipment in its network. > It survives if it goes to a Telus customer, but not if it crosses over > to Bell, Rogers, etc. Well -- here's where you can help me, because our name info is not even surviving on Telus' own network. I don't really care too much about Bell and Rogers, since Bell barely has a footprint out here and Rogers doesn't provide CNAM on its mobile network anyway (and nobody is using Rogers home phone ;) ). So -- if you had it working on Telus, what did you do? > One tech claimed it was because I was sending calling name in addition > to the IE, He probably meant the Display IE *and* the Facility IE. If you see my post it's what the technician I was working with suggested. Would be great if I knew a way of turning off the Display IE, if that's even possible/allowed. If it's not, then the "don't send both" idea is wrong. > while another claimed it was just a problem when the call > passes from a NI-2 circuit to NI-1 (which some of the other carriers > still use). Yeah, I've confirmed that this is an issue through a number of different people. > So, no real solution for you, but at least you know it's not something > obvious you're doing.

Anyway -- again -- what did you do to get it working on Telus' network? Do you know what kind of switch you were connected to? -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
