When the callerid is invalid your telco will normally set it to the normal line number.<br />
You need to set the callerid presentation which is the information which signals if the callerid is withheld. See <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+func+callerid" rel="ugc">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+func+callerid</a>

Callerid name isnt supported by most general telecomms providers (if any). Its mainly only used for SIP based phones.

Hi, I have a PRI line with my Asterisk v. 1.8.6.<br />
<br />
I can manipulate the outbound callerid, but cannot set it to block.<br />
<br />
When i try the below code, the PRI DID will end up showing.<br />
<br />
Is there a special syntax i need to apply on sip.conf or dhadi to enable blocking?<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-8233637">Set(CALLERID(num)=&quot;&quot;))
Set(CALLERID(name)=&quot;Anon&quot;))</code></pre>

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).

Voice Over IP

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

IP Telephony

Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between two or more entities (communication) includes the use of technology. Communication technology uses channels to transmit information (as electrical signals), either over a physical medium (such as signal cables), or in the form of electromagnetic waves. The word is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies.
