I'm running PBXiaf 2.5.2.2. I don't think I've done anything special on my end, in fact, our situation might be a bit more complicated. I ran a few scenarios and it worked as desired or in one case as expected. 1) Outside call to my DID. I answered the call, did a _blind_ transfer (just hit the transfer button and released the call) to my cell phone. The callerID shown on my cell phone was that of the original outside caller. 2) Outside call to my DID. I setup CFNA on my Aastra phone to forward to my cell. Call rang once on my phone then hit my cell. The callerID shown on my cell phone was that of the original outside caller. 3) Outside call to my DID. I setup the VMX locator so that the caller could press '1' and be transferred to my cell phone. Outside call hit my VM, pressed '1' and call hit my cell as expected. The callerID shown on my cell phone was that of the original outside caller. 4) ** Not as desired but as expected ** Outside call to my DID. I did an attended transfer to my cell phone, the callerID was my DID, not that of the outside caller. This is expected because the actual events for attended transfers are Hold -> Dial cell phone -> Introduce call -> Conference -> Release. Some background on our config: We're running PBX in a Flash. Asterisk 1.4.something. Our trunk config is a bit weird: We have a PRI coming into a physical box running Asterisk. That box just takes the PRI calls and sends them via SIP to the PBXiaf box which runs on vmware. That's why I say our system is a bit more complicated. There are 4 legs to each of those calls and the CallerID was preserved along all of them. I know this isn't really prescriptive for you in terms of telling you how to make it happen. I don't know what the differences are between your setup and mine but at least you know you don't have to start coding your way out of the problem. I hope that helps. Let me know if you need further info. Dave
