Some actually send more digits than a traditional telco! tail -f /var/log/sipXpbx/sipxproxy.log from the CLI will show you what the proxy is receiving when a call comes in so you CAN verify it. It's not hard, nor it is hacking. Just call it with the tail running and as soon as the screen scrolls CTRL+C it and look at the invite. While I agree there is no perfect mechanism here, I don't see how it is difficult to see what the proxy is receiving so I can make sure my alias matches the syntax or sequence the ITSP (or gateway, sbc, etc.) receives. I once used an ITSP who sent an extra 2 digits in front of the actual number dialed for their billing purposes. Crazy, but tailing the proxy log showed me that, and it was a different two characters than what they told me because they gave me incorrect information. Knowing how to look for myself told me how to change it so it would be useable. You will always want to have the knowledge to look for yourself.
