It will get set automatically for the outbound channel. I use Unlimitel.

exten => 550,n,Dial(IAX2/647xxxxxxx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/416xxxxxxx/s,25,trW)

Calls will outdial to my cellular using my Unlimitel account and show the CLID of the original caller.

Here is the scenario,

Incoming call on PSTN

Outgoing to SIP forwarded to Cell

Caller ID of Incoming Call (not Asterisk PSTN or SIP number) must show on Cell so that we I can decide if I want to screen the call.

If no answer on cell to voice mail on Asterisk.

I found this article which indicates that it is doable on a call via a SIP provider in the US (Telestra)

Apparently SIP provider must allow CID to be set by the customer.

I can’t believe that this isn’t a very common requirement!

Can anyone tell me if there are any providers in Canada that allow the CID to be set on the fly?

As an aside I haven’t found any SIP providers for the St. Catharines/Niagara Area. This limits me to using a SIP provider for outgoing calls only.

Does anyone know of a provider that can give me a local number for incoming calls in my area

Thanks,

Dave
