Voipcheap & caller-id (FritzBox)
Philippe Deleye
I have registered my landline caller-id (format 003256xxxx) with Voipcheap
client.
This worked for many months now ....
But recently, many - not all - outgoing calls are not coming with the
caller-id presented
Checked with another user in Belgium - he has the same problem.
Anybody else having the same issues ?
I can only see 2 reasons:
* or a problem (temporarely I hope) at Voipcheap
* or the Belgian Telephone Company (Belgacom) does not like calls from
outside their network with a Belgian caller-id, and intercepts these calls.
I would suspect the latter, if users outside Belgium are not experiencing
the same issues....
Any touhts ?

theory being that they can't validate it). As a lot of the vc.com calls are
"bounced" to a third country a lot of the time, this happens a lot.
I guess if it only tends to happen with one inbound provider (and not on
mobiles for example) then I would tend to suspect an issue with a carrier
downstream.

.com or dot.co.uk?
I set up my voipcheap.com line to send my landline
number, but I only did it 6 days ago, after seeing a post
about it here. I am using a Linksys PAP2 but
accessing my providers via Voxalot, so I needed to
put the "authorised" CLI in the Voxalot "from user"
setting. It seems to work 100% of the time to
BT lines, Vodaphone (UK) and Orange (UK).

recently to enable CallerID on my Linksys SPA 3102 and it works like a
charm.

Doesn't seem to be as my land-line number appears correctly.

Nope, as I'm also a Belgian citizen.

Interesting. The BT PRI we use at work regularly displays CallerID numbers
for calls from the US, Gibraltar and Singapore.

Not at all. I have an international line. When I ring friends on it the
number comes up as 00xxx xxxxxxx etc etc. Same as my mobile if i ring the uk
on that, the CLID is presented with no issues.
If the number is withheld, and international you get the symptoms your
describing.

I can confirm this. I had the same problem with Voipdiscount and when I
checked the client the verifications had gone. I re-verified and now
Caller ID now works well from my ATA and also via Voxalot. Seems as if
you to have to check it regularly.
I haven't worked out the timing but it could be related to the top-up.
When you think about it there is a logic in it because you could well
have moved and lost your true number at some stage. Would be nice to
have a reminder though.

Would be very helpful sometimes.
In the meanwhile getting a notification of running out of credit would
be welcome too, especially if you're using their service with a
SIP-enabled device instead of their client.

calls out using VC work fine with mobiles but not on BT (often shows as
international).
I guess it could be the fact that it is sent as a presentation number then?

About the Caller ID issue: i now notice it works better for the
recognition of the incomming PTSN CID, when i use DTMF (Finland, Sweden)
But that could also because it's a cheap DECT phone, MAX200,
What's the official dialing method of the Netherlands exactly ?
Another thing, people with an "hidden/secret" telephone number, can also
setup a SIP account at a ITSP ? no CID naturaly...

able to dial. It is even possible to send your mobile number as CallerID
for your fixed line...

Same story here also, CID works fine with my 3102, but now with my Dutch
analog phone proivider, when i call my landline, afther 8 or ten rings
the switchboard voice says that my telephone number doesn't exists, and
i have to check it, or try later, sometimes it's also an in American
with also typical (US)acsent sounding voice, confused switchboards ?
very strange....
