Re: Callcentric Outgoing CNAM said by PX Eliezer:....If you want them to transmit your CID, but [not] transmit your CNAM, I am sure that you can ask them to do that, and they certainly won't charge you for that.
Incumbent carriers surely would, though.
said by PX Eliezer:Keep in mind that you [the customer] provide the info that they will use for the CNAM (LIDB population), as long as you are not doing fraud.
So you could even have your CNAM be [nonymous nonymous] if you choose....
 (good joke, but seriously, that string exceeds 15 chars)

said by Davesnothere:I of my own choice tried an experiment in that very section of my CC profile, to see from what point of reference my CNAM was being grabbed, and changed my name in there.
The sole result was an email from CC, mentioning (for account security purposes) that I had changed the record, but NO change in CNAM.
Armed with CC's newly published CNAM policy, I will repeat that test and report back. 
But you are in Canada, which is like a whole [nother] country even though we share a [mother] country.
[In the USA, the poor people sit in a privy. In Canada, the rich people sit on a Privy Council.]
CC was talking about LIDB population, crucially important for US calls, but not universally applicable to Canadian calls where many of the phone companies on the receiving end are going to use SS7 signaling data rather than doing an LIDB dip. (I know that you know that, I am commenting for casual readers).
So the question is, what is CC sending in the SS7 signal on Canadian calls?
It may depend on how you put your name in your ATA, IP Phone, or Asterisk/PBX---especially in the case of an Asterisk/PBX. I am saying [may] because CC would have to answer that question.
said by Davesnothere:Armed with CC's newly published CNAM policy, I will repeat that test and report back.
But how would you see how your CNAM shows up?
By making calls to a BellCanada line, a Rogers line, a Comwave line, etc? Aside from the SS7 issue, even if they use LIDB they will be using different LIDB databases.
The pudding thickens.... |

SS7, or NOT SS7 - THAT is the question ! ....

The test which made me even try more tests was last August (2012) »ANVEO Inbound CID-CNAM Report , when I had noticed that my Anveo DID was dipping and getting my correct name as CNAM data on calls made from my CC number.
Also observed then was that a CallWithUs (Targus) manual dip yielded an identical result for my CC DID.
That's what sparked all of my questions, rhetoric, and consequent speculation about which VoIPPs use what CNAM LIDB(s), at that time.
I plan to [at least] use Anveo again as one of my yardschticks. |

Do you still have yardschticks or even yardsticks in your Metric country? |

Metreschticks ? You guys make me laugh aloud while when I laugh - I sneeze and then I can't concentrate on my job )
Dave - I've already requested for CNAM source info to be configurable on per DID (vs. account) basis including "voiding" the info (not populating any DBs with it) - also on per DID basis.
I can't say how long the lead time may be... programmers are worse than banks when you need a sudden loan, moreover - their (programers') gray interest rates are measured in weeks of additional vacations ). |

Yes, it seems that the only way to get a bank loan these days is to prove that you don't NEED one.  
As for your sneezing, possibly our good Doctor PX would prescribe an antihistimine for you.
So could any of your programmers be encouraged with Bagels ?
Or mayhaps with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts from the Penn Station food court ? - I personally am fond of their raspberry-filled ones.
I only have the one DID, so I didn't even think of the question on a per-DID basis - just per-account.
Anyway, what would happen if I was to deliberately ADD something specific to the [currently blank] field for 'Company Name' in my CC profile ?
Would THAT become my CNAM after the next refresh that CC does to the LIDB(s) in a week or two's time ?
Am I understanding things properly ?
User 'nonymous' and some other 'privacy-oholics' such as us may appreciate the answer too. |
