Lonnie, I removed the “o” option and took a look at the documentation for Asterisk 1.8. Looks like there are two options that could be of interest:
f - If x is not provided, force the CallerID sent on a call-forward or deflection to the dialplan extension of this Dial() using a dialplan hint. For example, some PSTNs do not allow CallerID to be set to anything other than the numbers assigned to you. If x is provided, force the CallerID sent to x x s - Force the outgoing callerid tag parameter to be set to the string x. Works with the f option. x As with all things Asterisk, the documentation is severely lacking! Can anyone explain how these could/should be used? I tried both of the following Dial commands: Dial(${IPHONE_away},25,ktf) and Dial(${IPHONE_away},25,ktf(7778889999)). Neither threw any errors; neither worked. thanks, Shamus > Hi Shamus, > > In your original post your Dial() snippet was: > -- > same => n,Dial(${IPHONE_away},25,okt) ; IPHONE_away = MYSIPPROVIDER/mobile > number > -- > > Note that the 'o' option is CallerId related for very old Asterisk > -- > • o: Restore the Asterisk v1.0 CallerId behaviour (send the original caller's > ID) in Asterisk v1.2 (default: send this extension's number) > -- > Possibly that 'o' option is causing problems. > > FYI, for Asterisk 11 the 'o' option is: > https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Application_Dial > <https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Application_Dial> > -- > • o - If x is not provided, specify that the CallerID that was present > on the calling channel be stored as the CallerID on the called channel.
