    Default Change outbound caller ID name?

    Is is possible to change the name that shows up on outbound caller ID?

    Would make a nice control panel option. Of course I can see it being abused too. HMM...

    Not if it needed manual approval and/or was only allowed to change once each month. And maybe a max of 6 times a year.

    That would work just fine.

    When I was with VT you could have the outgoing CID changed for a nominal fee ($1.99 or something like that). Mine went from Ptrowski,Doh to "The Ptrowskis".

    I doubt you will ever see this feature. There's too much potiential for abuse without it being closely monitored. Everything from profanity to offensive language would be left wide open for abuse. I'm sure Voipo would not like to be in the position of legal liability. I suppose this could be supported on a very infrequent basis, but only by opening a support ticket.

    That is a joke. I can not believe people would pay for something like that It would not take what a small part of the day and a post on the forums to create a profanity database? Wordpress has that function built in it already you just have to add the profane words.

    I would be more worried about people using names like Bank of America
