I never noticed this....how nice.

These still seem to be solid so far, so I'm moving to the public customer forum.

Just tried *67 again.

For the moment it isn't working, although it did yesterday...

However, when dialing from one cloned line to the other, it does show as anonymous, which it was doing yesterday.

I must be going nuts..

For me, the *67 only works when calling from one cloned line to the other.

Yesterday the code worked fine. Today, as I look at my call logs, every outbound call has my home number listed as anonymous, yet all the calls went through and when I checked with the receiving ends, they all see my complete CID.

I wonder if there isn't some interaction within the *code database that might cause a scenario like this.

Just tried *67 from my home VOIPo to my cell and 'private' is the only thing that shows. I'm still on sip, by the way..

I am waiting for my number to port, so I can't test the inbound stuff, however, I did have an issue with *67. I called *67 (10 digit cell phone). My cell still shows the caller ID information for my home number.

I would expect an "unknown".

Is this working for everyone else?

Thanks,
Dan

Sometimes when you have a contact name and number programmed in on your cell or home phone, it may automatically reference it even if the CID does not transmit.

How does it know? I thought the info in your address book gets matched against the CID in order to display. Without the CID, how does it know what to display?

I just tried to call my office number, and even with *67, it was passing my home phone number to it.

Are you doing this from your HT502 or from another device?

When you dial it are you dialing it all at once?

Yes, it's a HT502. And I am dialing all the digits at once.

I will try again tomorrow in case this is caused by the recent changes to my account on Friday.

I can report the same issue here with *67. I am dialing *67 immediately followed by the ten digit number of my cell phone. The caller id info is definitely going through. I also tried *30 as well just for grins with the same results. This is with the 502 behind my router.

My intention was to have the ATA in front of the router, but even after spending quite a while on the phone with support, we just couldn't get the 502 to pull an ip address from my cable modem.
