Sadly it's a limited to PRIs(at least that's what I've been told) You just can't send that much call data with a good old non-PRI T1. The up side is you get one extra voice channel to use as compared to a PRI. It's strange that the carrier doesn't have PRI cabability, I've run into many more carriers that can't do non-PRI. I've even had one that couldn't send me ANI(CallerID) on non-PRI lines.
Once you get into the world of ISDN and PRI, you start to be able to do a lot more with the signaling of calls, and you even have the ability to do faster call switching as compared to a non-PRI. My advice is to get a different carrier, there are hundreds out there. And if you absolutely have to have dynamic CallerID transmission you should verify that your new carrier will let you do that before you sign a contract(Make sure you verify it by talking to an actual switch tech from the carrier, sales people will lie through their teeth to get you to sign that contract).

What I really need is to be able to set callerID on outbound calls. I am trying to set the callerid using SetCIDNum just before using Dial on a zap channel, but it looks like the switch guys have it set to always stamp the same callerID on the my outbound calls no matter what I put in SetCIDNum or what channel on the T1 I use. Is this a misconfiguration of the switch or a limitation of the signaling protocol? If its the switch, can you give me any pointers as to what I could ask them to look for, or if its the protocol, do you know any other signaling protocol that lets me set outbound callerID (besides PRI)? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
