Searched for a solution to this but cannot find one that works. I have tried the CIDLookup using “Internal” with the phonebook - my preferance and also Set CID but nothing seems to make a differance.
I’m getting old and cannot remeber all the numbers so I just want my phone to display the callers name.
Really appriciate any help on this.

you don’t define like that if you want always bob just write bob without the variable if you want with previous calleridname it should look like this bob$CALLERID(name) which will put them both together
The link contributor solved it perfectly thanks with three very easy steps.
“configure the CID Lookup to check the phonebook. Enter the numbers/names in the phonebook. Then configure the Inbound route to use CID Lookup.”
It isn’t easy for those of us that don’t know Asterisk very well which, can be far from obvious when it comes to achieving some goals. I am grateful for both patience and assistance.
