Dallas, GA | Voicepulse Outbound CallerID Is there any way to configure VoicePulse for outbound CallerID? I'd like to be able to display my name with my number if at all possible...
Thanks in advance for any help. | |

Dallas, GA | Re: Voicepulse Outbound CallerID I've actually been wondering if it would present a problem... Honestly, most calls we make are to cell phones / businesses. The few landlines we call should be able to adjust adequately.
Thanks for the response. | |

New York, NY | As is swintec's experience, numbers ported over from a landline that already had a name attached do show the name for outbound caller ID. I ported over from Verizon/MCI and my name shows up. | |

| Nobody (providers) trusts the names that get sent, so any CNAME info that come from the sending providers are almost always bit-bucketed. Everybody keeps their own CNAME database and when calls come in, the receiving provider then takes the number and looks it up in their own CNAM database, and displays the name associated with that number. How often they refresh their database with the central cnam db is up to them.
Large ILEC's (verizon, etc..) do it sometimes twice a day...where smaller CLECS/Resellers(vitelity) may only do it once a week or once a month...
It's unfortunate that it works this way, and you can blame SBC for it. They originally wanted to charge every other provider to preserve cid name info. It backfired when nobody paid, and SBC simply threw out all incoming cid names from other providers. They admitted later, in retrospect, that instead of leaning on the other providers, they should have charged their own customers a 'cid name insertion fee' as a value add, and convince other providers to do the same. Eliminating every provider from keeping their own database. | |

| said by PCInTech :Both of my Voicepulse numbers were assigned by them and my full CID info (Name & Number) has always shown up on people's phones. your name showing up on other ppls CID devices has to do with which carrier actually holds your DID. If it's a carrier that allows VP to set CNAM in their (the carrier that is) database, then ppl will see your name on the CID devices when their carrier does the reverse lookup. | |
