Also, the phone ID can be spoofed. I get plenty of telemarketing calls where that is done. The originating switch or PBX is the one that provides the ID and it can be set to anything.
Yep, Asterisk does that, but it is limited to the number-block assigned to our lines, I think.
Also, a few years ago, I worked on a phone system where the customer insisted there be no caller ID on outgoing calls, as it was for a woman's shelter and they didn't want anyway for someone to track where those women were.
Suppressed caller-id is a pretty normal thing. In Asterisk you can tell whether CLID was suppressed or unavailable.
I have also set up VoIP PBXs, where someone in one location could call through another location and appear as though they originated at that 2nd location.
Yep, that's also not a problem with Asterisk. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
