Outbound CID Spoofing is it possible?

(1/9) > >>

Loughary:
Does the OBi110 have the ability to spoof outbound CID?  What I was hoping to do is add my name to my outbound CID when placing calls.  Right now it just displays my number with "UNKNOWN NAME" I thought I read somewhere that some ATA devices can spoof the email...if not not a big deal.

FYI..I'm using a normal SIP Service provider.

Thanks.

RonR:
Are you setting?:

Voice Servies -> SPx Service -> CallerIDName : [caller name]

@RonR...yes I've added the caller name there doesn't seem to help...I'm assuming this data has to be sent from SIP service provider?

Thanks.

RonR:
You might want to read the 'Calling-line identification' section of:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caller_ID

To get a caller's name in addition to the CallerID (phone number) on calls that go through the PSTN, the phone service provider has to maintain (or subscribe to) a database that provides the name.  VoIP-to-VoIP often passes the name provided in the ATA, but that information isn't passed through the PSTN (only the number).

OBi-Guru:
CID number can be spoof-ed on the OBi device but not the CID name, and this is only if the ITSP cooperates (i.e. let it pass).

Your SIP ITSP can enable your CID name after they have it registered with Verisign.
