Caller ID to work. I searched the archives, and found some people saying that outgoing Caller ID shows up as "Out of Area" (that's what I get), and another person saying it worked 75% of the time for him. I've tried calling 3 different area codes (612, 952, and 253), so I've tried multiple
My experience is that it worked 50% of the time for me. I live in 919. When I call to 919, it always comes up Unknown. When I call family in 304, the caller ID is set to my home number and it shows up as it should (both number and name) on my family's callerid units. I think the theory that some exchanges support it and some don't is solid.
1) For the people that have had caller ID working, what type of iConnectHere service plan do you have? (IE, do you have a number with them, or is it outgoing only?) Right now, I'm testing with the free
$10 trial, outgoing only, no incoming number.
3) What's the proper way to configure things to get Caller ID to work, for the people that have it working? I'll include the configuration that I've tried below.
Here is what I do on outgoing calls:
exten => s,1,SetCallerID(919-XXX-XXXX) exten => s,2,SetCIDName(Your Name)
Though, after reading other, more knowledgable people's explanation of how caller id numbers and names are linked, I think only the first line is necessary. FYI, these are the first two lines in my [macro-dialiconnect] macro.
5) Is my 'register' syntax below set up properly? I couldn't find much documentation on the 'proper' way to set this up.
I don't think the /username is necessary at the end of the register command. To be sure, look at the log to see if * complains about the registration. I do know that if you don't have an incoming number, you don't need to register with iconnect at all. Just set up username/password in sip.conf and Dial().
