Crystal Lake, IL | I found something interesting Before I saw this article, I set up for an employee who is working out of our office in IL so his outbound caller ID is his Seattle number. I tested it to my cell phone and all was well.
What is interesting is when I was showing a co-worker how I did it and set my office phone outbound caller ID to be her home number. I then called another phone (calling 10 digit outside). It caller ID'ed was with her husband's name. We are in a different area-code (847 vs. 815), but I'm pretty sure in the same LATA. Our Telco is a CLEC in the AT&T area. I am pretty sure her number is owned by AT&T.
I then changed my (office) outbound caller ID to match my home number. I did the same test and it caller ID'ed with my name. I have Comcast as my provider.
Does anybody have any idea how this is happening? I find this interesting. Is caller-id sent on SS7? |

| Caller ID parameters are sent via SS7. But some providers will ignore or overwrite certain flags or values. |

How did you change your outbound CID? I know a few ways to do it, but they require hardware/software to get there, and I do enable it for clients that own the numbers they want to send outbound (So, while they are spoofing, they're technically not). Feel free to IM me if you don't wanna tell the whole world.

Crystal Lake, IL | bigunk - No problem copying the whole world....
We have Cisco CallManager and on the directory number page, you change "External Phone Number Mask" to the number you want. This is the number passed to your telco (a CLEC in our case). As somebody said, what they do with it varies. |
