outgoing call id shows number only!

Post by new936 »

Since last few weeks my outgoing calls shows my tel number only!

Previously they showed my name and number both from my Linksys ATA. Do I need to change any confuguration?

freephoneline.ca specifies only the number to be shown on outbound calls, depending on what device you have and what carriers your call routes through your name may not be displayed.

I did not change anything. Is it possible that they changed something at Freephoneline? I am using it for more than a year and caller id with name was working before.

We have not changed anything - as admin had said, we only guarantee your number to always show on outbound calls. Name display can be hit or miss - I believe there's a sticky somewhere explaining why.
