Change outbound caller ID name?

**voipinit** · 05-04-2009 01:53 PM

As I recall, Packet8 allows it from their CP. Not a big deal to me though.

I see that there are new (to me, anyway) options in VPanel under Features/Preferences/ATA: "Display Name Line 1" and "Display Name Line 2." Support says they're for changing the caller ID name on numbers supplied by VoIPo... Doesn't seem to have any effect for me (on a number supplied by VoIPo), in the short term (15 minutes after setting these, it made no difference), anyway.

Very cool, we talk, they listen, and then some

Not sure how long it would take for the name to propagate. Especially if the phone with CNAM uses a different LIDB service?

I really didn't expect it to be instantaneous; I suppose it could take days...

Calling cloned line to cloned line, did not show my changes.
(Even though the name field is only VOIPo to VOIPo.)

I logged in today and for some odd reason the feature "block caller id" was enabled-strict.

I do not recall seeing a strict option before and I never set that. So I think when it was added it defaulted to enabled-strict. I would recommend at least a few of you check yours.

I noticed that too, and turned it off as a guess. That could have been my problem with calls to Vonage not going through...

I submitted a ticket. If we both had the issue then support needs to be aware of it.

EDIT- Noticed audio gain defaulted to low too. Support is looking in to it.
