Not entirely true. Bell Canada lets me set CID name to whatever I want and it shows up on the other end as what I'd set. Where this stops working is when the call terminates outside of Bell Canada -- when it leaves the network the receiving network does the database lookup and overrides my name setting. I won't forget the day I called my ex at work with my CID Name set to "HINDI HOTTIES" (519) 690-6969" :-) -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
