Inbound CallerID Format

Want the ability to adjust the incoming caller id format

In FreePBX this is done by “Set CallerID” FreePBX Module

Go to Module Admin and install the Set CallerID (Set+CallerID) module.

In Applications → Set CallerID, create a rule:

Pattern: ^(.*)$

Set CallerID Name to: ${CALLERID(name)} ${CALLERID(num)}

In pure Asterisk I beleive it's done in /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf:

[from-pstn-custom]
exten => _X.,1,NoOp(Format inbound CallerID to “Name Number”)
same => n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)} ${CALLERID(num)})
same => n,Goto(from-pstn,${EXTEN},1)

There's no way to do this in PBXes

RE: Inbound CallerID Format

This is possible with the PRO account. We can also modify your extensions.conf for you.

But why would you want to include the number into the name field? This should work automatically. If there is no name, it will just be the number. If there is one, name & number in the name field sounds a bit much?
