John: The caller ID is presented 'as displayed' so it is dependant on the telco provider in many cases.
There is an SS7 standard using the first rose component that will determine the format. You can find that info relatively anywhere. Unfortunately, there are many groups that don't follow the standard. ------------------------------------ VoIPX Frank Perk [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2810 Sweet Home Road Amherst, NY 14228 tel: 716 929 VoIP (8647) x101 fax: 716 929 8648 mobile: 716 430 6996 www.VoIPX.us ------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: John Van Ostrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 2:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [on-asterisk] Caller ID Formats I'm working on a Windows based screen pop utility and I need to know how consistent the caller ID is provided by the Asterisk manager interface. We need to be able to parse the caller ID and pass a "clean" form of it to an application, i.e. 10 digits without punctuation. To do that we need to know how varied the format is and what we can expect it to be. On our asterisk system we see caller ID like "Caller Name" <5198831172>. So here is what I'm wondering: 1. Does asterisk provide any formatting? Can we expect that we will always see the name in quotes and the phone number enclosed in "< >"? 2. Is the number always 10 digits? Can it be 11, or 7? (assuming that it's not an extension.) Thanks, -- John Van Ostrand Net Direct Inc. Director of Technology 564 Weber St. N.
