It is in fact required for some implementations of callerid name. It comes on a facility message that arrives after the call is setup. It also can come in a display IE in the call setup. It really depends on which way they are sending it.

No, I'm taking receiving CallerID name and *not* sending. and no on a
PRI wait should not be required for callerID to come in.

Hence the wait(1) required to display it.
Now if you are referring to sending caller name across PSTN - that
does NOT work since the terminating switch will do a CNAM lookup.

I switched PRI vendors recently, and one of my questions was "do
you provide caller ID name in addition to number?"
AT&T Local did not, But XO communications said they did.


You heard wrong.  We have multiple PRIs from XO and they DO NOT send
caller name.  We have discussed the issue with them on several
ocassions.  The sales people will say whatever they want, but the
tech
people who actually work in the switches know that caller name is not
supported.

I believe he didn't hear wrong, a lot of providers are now providing
CallerID with name over PRI. The tech people know it *is* supported
(all it is is a stupid simple lookup on the SS7 side of the equipment) but wasn't done until now because the competition didn't offer it, but
now that the competition is offering it, everyone else is as well.


Before I call to complain, is there an setting to turn this on in
asterisk?
I want to make sure that I have my side covered before I call XO.

My current zaptel.conf is:

context=from-pstn
switchtype=national
pridialplan=unknown
prilocaldialplan=unknown
priindication = outofband
signalling=pri_cpe
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
usecallingpres=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
group=0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
accountcode=I
musiconhold=default
channel => 1-23
