Re: [asterisk-users] OT: Question on Caller ID (Spoofing calls with Asterisk)
Asterisk can set any Caller ID name and number you want with the CALLERID() function. Type 'core show function CALLERID()' on the Asterisk command line to get the details. Whether your trunk will convey the Caller ID you have set is another matter - and entirely the choice of your outbound carrier.

Re: [asterisk-users] OT: Question on Caller ID (Spoofing calls with Asterisk)
What I found curious was the caller's name was Asterisk On our systems, if I don't assign a CID number to an inbound call that is blocking it's CID, the default shown on the Polycom phones is Asterisk. I've set it up that any inbound call with no CID is assigned a 0 for the phone number and Restricted as the CID name.

Whether CLI spoofing works depends on the provider and has not so much to do with Asterisk. Asterisk makes it possible, but so does every common SIP softphone or most other SIP device for that matter. If the CLI you claim to own will get actually transmitted to the callee depends on the provider you are using for termination and whether they allow you to set an arbitrary CLI. It also depends on the routes that the call travels through until it reaches the callee. If there's a grey route on the path that overwrites your CLI, such as a GSM gateway, your CLI won't make it to the callee. Nowadays you can find providers that allow you set arbitrary CLIs on every corner. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

There really isn't much extra to read. Like the others have said, I can set my caller id to be anything I want with Asterisk. Whether the downstream carrier will accept it is another matter entirely. I work with multiple carriers at my locations around the world and have found they usually do one of three things. 1. Allow only the main number on the account as the outbound caller ID. I hate this one as I may very well want my CID to not be the main number in some cases. 2. Allow the CID to be any number I own through that carrier. This one is preferable as it allows people to have their direct dial number show up as their caller ID. 3. Allow the CID to be any number. This one is how you get spoofing to work. The carriers themselves can still tell who actually sent the call, but most people won't go through the hassle of tracking it down to get the spoofers taken care of. Additionally, some carriers will reject an outbound call from you if your CID isn't set correctly, others will just silently reset it to your main number in the background.-- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
