Caller ID

I have reached an point of extreme frustration with this topic, and I think I am on to the root of the problem.

Problem: I authorize PBXes directly via IP address to an external SIP Proxy, and PBXes Passes Caller ID correctly to the outbound call. However as PBXes will not perform the complex LCR I need, then I have tried both sending calls to an Asterisk (for LCR) then the appropriate SIP proxies (after Asterisk LCR) , and now I have also tried the same with a VOIPSwitch. The VOIPSwitch is currently passing caller ID on Wholesale traffic as well as devices registered to it. One SIP proxy shows the caller ID passed to it. A Sample CDR is below.
supernettel-500 15036677700 UNITED STATES Oregon Apr 8, 2007 01:12:27 AM 00:00:00 00:00:00 0.000000
In the above example it is clearly the PBX User ID that is being passed to the SIP Proxy. Normally in that first field, is the outbound caller ID.

Suspected Source of Problem. There are two fields that can be potentially used for Caller ID. VoIPSwitch makes this clear in their documentation. I believe one field is called User ID . I suspect this USer ID is what is being looked at in both the case of Asterisk (by default in the version I have used) and the VoIPswitch.

Solution:
Set USER ID field to Caller ID number, as it seems it should be anyhow. This may or may not work with caller ID name as well. This will create a greater compatibility with all SIP Proxies, and prevent users from passing invalid caller ID to Providers that may reject calls based on valid ANI (which some do). I see no valid reason to pass the PBXes "USER-EXT" to an outbound trunk, but maybe I am missing the rationale behind it.

RE: Caller ID

I have voip switch but pbxes SIP extention is not working with my voipswitch. Another provider working fine such as voipraider, jumblo.com etc. but only pbxes SIP not working.

settings are below.
Login : <account name>-<extension no.>
Password : <extension password>
Domain/Server : sip.pbxes.com/ pbxes.org/ sip.pbxes.org
Port : 5060

If I setup same settings in x-lite softphone, or VOIP device then It's working fine but only it's not working with my VOIPswitch

Can you please advise what I am doing wrong or anything you need to setup on your end to allow me pbxes SIP use with my VOIPswitch Thanks

RE: Caller ID

Well, to set caller ID for one of my trunks I've had to put the following:

Username:phone number in 00 format. eg, uk is 0044
password box: password:username
eg mypassword:myusername

Works ok for me

RE: Caller ID

I did the same and It works well

RE: Caller ID

CallerID seems to be implemented differently with different providers. For example with Betamax I can put my UK phone number as Username and they add the 0044 to it automatically for callerID.
However with Callwithus nothing is sent as caller ID if it starts with a 0, but if you set callerID as, for example, 44xxxxx it sends it out ok.
I'm still struggling with Siptraffic though, cannot find any way to make callerID work ... must be missing something (200 euro credit I can't use)
