Change Outbound CallerID (Spoofing?)
giqcass:
Did you set spoofing up on the Vestalink website and verify the number you plan to spoof?

I realize that now that I needed to set it up on the Vestlink side. Isn't there a way to spoof without needing to do this? Because I can't find anything on the Freephoneline to set up spoofing.
Now the weird thing is that when I change:
Voice Service > SP1 Service > CallerIDName (I entered the name I wanted)
It changes the name that shows up with my number, no problem. But when I change:
Voice Service > SP4 Service > CallerIDName (I entered the name I wanted)
It doesn't change the phone number that shows up with my Vestalink number (or the number I choose to spoof with). It just shows "Unknown number."
But anyways... is it possible to change the number that shows up when I dial out of SP1? (Freephoneline) I read here that it is possible (I think?)... and that's where I got the idea from: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=231.0

To me it looks like you're assuming that all ITSPs do things the same. If you are, I think that is an unwarranted assumption.

To me, it looks like that I don't understand how all this works, which is why I am on a forum asking for help or clarification. ???

I didn't see freephoneline.ca mentioned in that post. Where did you see it? Something you must consider as well is that some companies are changing policies on CID spoofing to avoid abuse. There are new rules on CID spoofing and they want to be on the right side of the law even if their policies are overly restrictive. That's why numbers for CID spoofing must often be verified. Other companies use the information as part of the authorization process and as such altering the info can cause authorization problems. I can't speak to freephoneline.ca and their policies as I am not familiar with them. I believe they have their own forum you might consider cross posting your question there. Someone on their forum might have insight into the problem that we do not.
I'm unclear as to whether you set up your Caller name on Vestalink (The name that shows when you call someone) but that is an option. It may take some time to propagate to the various databases so don't be surprised if it isn't immediately available. I thought it was odd but that option is not in the same menu as the CID spoofing.
