Justin, Any luck with sending calling name at your end?
Here's what I've found so far. My carrier sees the name I send in his debug. He's not using it for Calling Name because it's coming in a 'display' field and not in a 'facility info element' (sometimes called facility IE). He wants me to send it as Facility IE, not as display. Some googling shows that there is work going on in this area. There seem to be some examples of a 'facilityenable' in zapata.conf but it doesn't seem to be supported at my version of libpri and/or zaptel. I'll look at upgrading. I'll do some more looking and keep you all posted. The new information here is: It's possible for asterisk to transmit Calling Name to a carrier who is willing to honour it, but it's not propogated because it's coming in the wrong ISDN field. BTW: Thanks to everyone for their informative posts. Dave Donovan On 7/24/06, Justin Sweeney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi; Does anyone knoe how to easily include a caller 'name' ID on SIP accounts? I have a PRI (with DID's) which is working great and passing the caller ID number perfectly; but I want to include the 'name' so that it also shows up when I call a Bell Landline or homeline etc. Justin
