Hi,

Please forgive me for my bad english. I’m a french pepople.

I’d like to make anonymous calls. Actually, I’m using the keyyo sip trunk, and anonymous calls work perfectly using : Set(CALLERID(name)=Anonymous)

I’m doing some test with another provider, and The same configuration does’nt work.  
I’ve tested with SetCallerPres(prohib), but it doesn’t work.

How could I make anonymous calls ?

Asterisk version : 1.4.21.2

Thanks for yous helps.

Hi,

Sometimes (or actually most of the times) your provider prohibits the usage of Anonymous CallerID. They just ignore the CallerID you sent and pushes the CallerID of your account. Try talking with the provider in order to hide your CallerID.
