want to make calls showing my work mobile number using the Obi. Possible?

SteveInWA:
Bottom line, regardless of terminology debates (which I won't wade into), DrGeoff's original answer is correct.

A_Friend:
Sheesh...

Bottom line, RappLake:  If you want to spoof a caller ID, you need a back-end service that will do that for you.  The fact that you can't set that on the Obi is irrelevant.

Circlenet will allow you to spoof your work mobile phone.  You set that up under SIP Devices on their customer portal.

Voip.ms will allow you to spoof your work mobile phone.  You set that up under Main Menu/Account Settings/General.  OR you can create a subaccount and use that for your SIP account on the OBi.  Separate subaccounts can have different caller IDs. 

Callcentric can also allow you to spoof a caller ID, but years ago, which is when I last added those IDs, it required opening a help ticket and them verifying your number belonged to you.

Lavarock7:
I prefer 'calling out' and 'receiving a call' as technical jargon (while correct), tends to confuse the non-technical user.

We still talk about DIALING when a dial is commonly refereed to as a round device like the ls telephone rotary dials. It makes more sense today to say you are PADding a call using a dial pad.

We call # a crosshatch or pound sign because although the technical term is "Octothorp, octothorpe, octathorp or octatherp" which most of us don't use nor understand.
