Quote from: RJDB on January 04, 2012, 09:33:16 PMIs there a way I can pass the inbound SP1 CID to the outbound SP2 - so the distant CC end shows the CID of the initiating phone (the inbound SP1 CID)??
This can be a really tough problem, not because of what you have already seen, but because the low-cost routes to foreign mobiles generally won't pass caller ID. Some solutions don't involve the OBi.
Get a DID from Anveo and forward to your destination. Quality and reliability are excellent, caller ID gets correctly delivered, but this is a fairly expensive solution.
Next step down, try Localphone. Unfortunately, a US caller ID gets sent as 10 digits (without the initial 1), so e.g. a call from 415 area code may be interpreted and parsed by your phone as coming from Switzerland and will likely not match the entry in your contact list. However, if you visually recognize the number, you'll know who is calling.
Through the OBi, if the call comes to a provider that supports call transfer via REFER, and you send it back out via the same provider, the call will be transferred rather than bridged, so the caller ID will be correct (if provider's upstream carrier passes it correctly).
What you were originally trying to do will work with Voxbeam. They give you $1 credit at signup, so you can test without making a payment. Unfortunately, OBi won't spoof on a VGx, so you would have to "burn" SP2 for Voxbeam. You'd then have to move Callcentric to a VGx, perhaps using SIP URI to get incoming calls. Of course, you'll need to use Premium route to ensure caller ID delivery.
Flowroute is likely a better solution than Voxbeam, because you won't have to hassle with IP authentication. They also give you a small test credit when you sign up. I'm not a Flowroute customer, though, so can't supply the details.
