Thanks for that, I'll have to test further and see whether all the devices we use support RPID/PAI. It would certainly be easier than messing about with headers that should not really be changed! > Changing the Contact header seems quite wrong; the display-name in a URI in > the Contact header is pretty much irrelevant.

The From: header change is a relatively recent RFC, but I've seen several handsets supporting it, and several non-Asterisk SIP stacks using this to achieve COLP updates. I completely agree that changing the Contact: header is daft, and I have no idea why Aastra use this method.
