Private CID calls treated as spam

[digital_archivist]

I'm still trying to debug my DIDforSale problem with incoming private CID calls. I thought it was an IP Country issue, but disabling IP Country doesn't help.

What seems to be happening is that when a call with a Private CID comes in via DIDforSale, the ID and IP are replaced by Anonymous, per the following log snippet:

<sip:[email protected]>;screen=yes;party=calling;privacy=full
f: <sip:[email protected]:5060>;tag=c4-45026-4d084a-63cb1d79-4d084a

I'm guessing this is by design. Unfortunately, as soon as the IP address is stripped, the call is treated as spam and rounted to ss-noservice. I'm sure there's an easy fix for this, but I haven't a clue what it might be.

Thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Try creating an inbound route with ANONYMOUS in the DID field. This will get the call into your system, then you can demand the Caller ID.

Brilliant! I'll give it a try. Thanks

Actually, that still didn't work for me (or, more probably, I screwed up the route). Also, my context strips out the leading + with DIDforSale incoming CID, so when an anonymous call come through it was identified as Nonymous.

What did finally worked was a variation of the settings ksDevGuy recommended for Callcentric in http://pbxinaflash.com/community/threads/callcentric-incoming-did-routing-solved.5265/#post-41725 (modified for DIDforSale IP addresses). Works like a charm for both blocked and unblocked CIDs.

In any event, thanks again for taking the time to help.
