Re: Voicepulse Outbound CallerID
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. |

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. |

I was BYOD (with my own Sipura 2000) then changed to using their Sipura 2002.
It always worked with both, dating back about 3+ yrs. now. |

One of my DID's is from USADatanet (a Central NY phone company) and the other is Broadview Networks in NYC. |
