asterisk outbound caller id

I'm trying to set the caller id number for an outbound call.

My asterisk .call file looks like this:

Channel: SIP/flowroute/1234567890
Context: test
Extension: 1234567890
Priority: 1

Here's my extensions.conf:

[test]
exten => _1NXXXXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=8005552222)
exten => _1NXXXXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@flowroute)
exten => _1NXXXXXXXXX,n,Playback(hello-world)

When I receive the call, the caller id number is 1-206-445-6979, even though the CDR log has both src and clid set to 8005552222. I'm using flowroute as my carrier. Is there something wrong on their side?

Solution 1:

Your config is correct. Your carrier is likely preventing you from setting an arbitrary CID number; check with them.

Solution 2:

Here's how I got this working:

.call file:

Channel: SIP/flowroute/1234567890
CallerID: "Test" <8005552222>
Context: test
Extension: 888
Priority: 1

extensions.conf:

[test]
exten => 888,1,Playback(hello-world)

Note that the extensions.conf context does not include a dial application. In fact, when it was included two outgoing calls were placed with some very strange results.
