[apologies for top-posting]

I am very interested in what providers typically take CNAM via ISDN. I have some experience with PRI providers, but I've never heard of one offering that service.

If you are a PRI provider in the lower 48 who takes CNAM and can pass that off to the PSTN, please get in touch with me off-list, especially if you handle SIP outbound to your gateways. I may not buy service from you (or maybe I will!) but I'd be very interested in hearing what the particulars are about your offering so I can bring those elements to the table with my current providers.

This would be a big benefit for those of us trying to make The Phone System a little more dynamic than the sluggish monster that it currently is. An SQL call and instant re-write for a name is a lot faster/better/more useful than sending a spreadsheet to the carrier every month.

I do know this.. You have to make sure the the generic name IE
(information element ) is being populated in the outbound ISDN setup
message to Allegiance. If you have a protocol analyzer you could check
this , or maybe Allegiance an check this for you. At any rate, they
should get this parameter inbound from you ISDN and then pass this
parameter to the PSTN (most likely via ISUP). I would get with
Allegiance and make sure they are setup to pass CNAM to the PSTN with
you.

Or you can tell them what ANI/CPN you are sending and they probably
store with an SS7 provider , and they can update the SCP for the desired
name that you want for any ANI. There might be a cost for this...


This last option is the cleanest way to do it. I currently do this for customer's that have PRI PBX's and sit on my switch with a T-1

Wow... talk about a detailed response; thanks!

 In our situation, we've got a T-1 voice PRI from Allegiance Telcom. For
 the benefit of those of us who aren't as in the know as you are (and
 who have no affiliation with a CLEC), is there a way to be able to
 control what gets sent out as our name portion of the Caller ID (even
 if it means changing what's recorded at Allegiance)? We somehow manage
 to do so with the number part.

 In other words, type real slow and mention specific conf files if
 possible. This is pretty new stuff for me...  Thanks again!
