Ok. I discovered that this flag will not work, it actually sets the caller ID to the extension being dialed, ie:
exten => 1235551212,1,Dial(SIP/whatever,15,f) works perfectly. The caller id will show 1235551212, however: exten => 1212,1,Dial(SIP/whatever/15,f) does not work. I believe it tries to set the caller ID to 1212, and completely ignores what's in the sip.conf file in the "callerid=" field. This would work fine for external callers, but if somebody wanted to dial an internal extension, like 101, it'll try to set the caller ID to 101 and that won't work. Office users would have to dial the 10 digit number. This would be fine for home users, but for internal offices this won't work. I verified that the callerid field was being ignored on forward by setting what's in the callerid field to 1235551213 and when I placed a normal call from my voip phone to my cell, the caller ID did show 1235551213; however when I did CFWDALL on my voip phone to go to my cell phone, I then called the 1235551212 number with another cell phone, the number that showed up on my cell phones caller ID was 1235551212; Help anyone? I hate caller ID. Ohh, and a side thought, how many of you out there had cell phone usage triple since you got into VOIP? Hehe. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Rodan Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 1:02 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: FW: [Asterisk-Users] Need a creative solution - Caller IDanda stupidupstream Hmmm... You're right, I must have missed that option. If this works, I do apologize for wasting your valuable time. However, do I put this on the outbound or inbound rule? This rule: ; Local exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN:1}) exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion or do I put this on the actual extension of the person who has the CFwdALL option set, this rule: exten => 3024,1,Dial(SIP/sales1,20,r) exten => 3024,2,VoiceMail(u3043) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Wieling Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 12:34 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: FW: [Asterisk-Users] Need a creative solution - Caller ID anda stupidupstream Paul Rodan wrote: > > > Nobody responded so I'm sending this out again.

'f' -- Forces callerid to be set as the extension of the line making/redirecting the outgoing call. For example, some PSTNs don't allow callerids from other extensions then the ones that are assigned to you. Of course you have to do a "show application dial" to see all the Dial() options. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
