Is There Any Way To Pass Caller Id To Cell Phone?

We have following problem. On some of the extentions I call cell phone after 10 seconds or so.Or, like this one below- we call cell and office phone at the same time
;Eric on extension 105
exten => 105,1,Dial(${ERIC_CELL}&${ERIC_OFFICE},30)
        same => n,VoiceMail(105@default,u)
Where problem comes in – if person not at the desk – his cell phone shows call from OFFICE number and there is no way to tell who is really calling. We use Callcentric as a trunk if it makes any difference. I’d like to add info about caller when passing to cell phone if possible. Is there any way to do that?
Thank you,Ivan

  • Hi Ivan,

    Check whats CallerID you are getting before initiating dial command.

    ;Eric on extension 105
    exten => 105,1,NoOp( Call ID: ${CALLERID(all)} )
    exten => 105,n,Dial(${ERIC_CELL}&${ERIC_OFFICE},30)
    same => n,VoiceMail(105@default,u)

    Also what Caller ID is set on outgoing trunk? Is that enforced in trunk configuration?

  • Abdul, What is the point of chacking caller id? Does it “make” Asterisk forward it later on?
    Here is outgoing trunk sip.config. Don’t know much about it, pretty much copy/paste from their instructions. register => dsfsadfasdf@callcentric.com[callcentric]
    type=peer context=from-callcentric host=callcentric.com fromdomain=callcentric.com defaultuser=17775555555
    fromuser=17775555555
    secret=abcd1234
    insecure=port,invite disallowed_methods=UPDATE
    directmedia=no videosupport=no disallow=all allow=ulaw[callcentric1](callcentric);
    host=alpha1.callcentric.com[callcentric2](callcentric);
    host=alpha2.callcentric.com[callcentric3](callcentric);
    host=alpha3.callcentric.com[callcentric4](callcentric);
    host=alpha4.callcentric.com[callcentric5](callcentric);
    host=alpha5.callcentric.com

    Thank you,Ivan

  • Abdul, Added code like you proposed, I see it in logs but still don’t see caller ID coming in:

  • So, assuming 15555555555 is the Caller ID you would *like* to see on the mobile, but in fact you see the number associated with your Callcentric trunk, I think Abdul has pinpointed the problem:

    By “trunk configuration” he means the trunk setup with Callcentric, not your Asterisk server.

    It is most likely that Callcentric do not allow you to set arbitrary caller ID
    on outgoing calls made through that connection. You could pretend to be anybody, and they don’t permit that.

    Regards,

    Antony.

  • Ivan,

    Be aware that what you are asking may cause problems with making the call to the cell phone. Think of it this way, you are taking an inbound call and then sending it out over your regular operator. They may object to accepting a call with a CLID that does not match your account and could block it. It is worth testing if they will allow any outbound CLID or need it to match the account. The problem will get worse when SHAKEN’STIR comes into effect and they need to certify that the call came from your office. The reason they would block it is to prevent both spam calls and fraud.

  • Maybe you should ask them how to do this! Maybe you should add a Diversion header, maybe they don’t allow this kind of spoofing at all. This is a common request from users of SIP trunks and your use case is legit. If Callcentric does checks on callerid validity and there is a call to a customer with callerid X, they should be able to use this callerid X when forwarding to an external device/number.
