Hello,

I've posted this at the trixbox and freepbx forums and haven't been able to get an answer. I thought perhaps the guru's here might be able to help me out :)

I'm having some issues with setting caller IDs. There are 2 problems that I would like to solve.

1. I have a DID pointing to a ring group. The only 'extension' in that ring group is an external number (cell phone). So essentially the DID fwds to a cell phone. The problem is that the CID that shows up on the Cell phone is the number that's set on the outgoing trunk the the CALLERS #. Is there a simple way to override this? Or better yet, is there a prefered method for forwarding calls out with freePBX?

I cannot help you with Trixbox, only Asterisk.

Are you using PRI, Analog, or VoIP for your outgoing call?

If PRI or VoIP AND the carrier permits it, you can manually set the Caller*ID before the Dial() line using SetCIDNum.

You can also do a "show application dial" in the Asterisk CLI, pay special attention to the "o" option to Dial()
