We do not get caller ID (name) on our telco lines.
However we have a few single line extensions with consumer type handsets that ring at odd hours with "Asterisk" before the phone is picked up, and "Out of Area" after it is picked up. I have read that "Asterisk" is what is reported by Asterisk for 0 length caller ID number. But since we don't subscribe to Caller ID Name, I am wondering where the "Out of Area" is coming from? Could these be hacking attempts via IP? Perhaps they are doing the caller ID name? It only happens to a few extensions as far a we know. TIA for any input or knowledge.
