My inbound carrier now is adding the +1 to the beginning of the caller ID.

"Our carriers have switched over to the E164 standard for caller IDs, because of this caller IDs will all have a preceding "+1". "

This causes the CallerID no longer to work to reconize on persons accounts.

How do I remote the +1, from the beginning of the caller ID.

Thank you

maybe something like that?

exten => x,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num):2})

this remove the 2 first caracters from the callerid.

That was the answer,
Thank you

for NewBees'

It goes into extensions_a2billing.conf
Before the AGI Call
exten => _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num):2})


[custom-a2billing]
exten => _X.,1,Answer
exten => _X.,n,Wait(1)
exten => _X.,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num):2})
exten => _X.,n,DEADAGI(a2billing.php|1)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup

This works of all of your inbound providers add the +1,

You know - I thought about doing the opposite and forcing everyone to use the +countrycode%number% scheme since it will be more acceptable for international. Then for whichever access number or trunk they come in from instead of subtracting the couple digits, sometimes you need to add them. (this really helps when doing callback, and users don't know how to enter their callback number in their file - this allows them to all use same structure)

+15612223333 for US
or
+20123282222 for Egypt

for example even if maybe in the US we get only the 5612223333 we just add the +1, and in a place like egypt where the ID may come in as 012328222 we know to subtract "0" and add "+20" then if people are traveling and dial a different access number, then their callerID on file will still be good.

If callerID doesn't follow the E164 convention then your calls will not pass through VoIP carrier (it will be rejected), as it is still in development, now its ok.

If you authenticate your user by callerid and callerid is coming as E164 format, so you just add user's callerid in a2b CALLERIDLIST AS +17258575734

So, you can still recognize users.

HI,

Just want to ask how do you subtract 0 and add "+20"?

Thanks
