I'll second that for switzerland. When you subscribe for a E1 channel or direct VoIP trunk, you cannot send full e.164 number, but only the last digits that stick in the range of number the telco gave (rent ?) to you. There are some supplemental services, like Special Arrangement (SA), that let you send full numbers, without controlling from the telco side if you stay in your range (in fact, your real number still sent on the network, but a supplemental field is added with the number you want to show). Now, for law enforcement, you are *NOT* allowed to change your clip on the network. To solve this issue, I see 2 directions : 1/ Ask for a SS7 trunk, to get more powerfull abilities (cell localisation, supplemental services, direct access to radio, ...) but telco will charge you for that, and a big access fee :( Also you need a SS7 endpoint. 2/ For ISDN network (Q.931 signaling), use of the UserInfo field, on the signaling session (yes, you can send some byte when the phone is ringing, without charge) Probably for all European countries this will be the same. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
