Hi All,

Does anyone know how to stop freeswitch from messing with the callerid (specifically name portion) of a transferred call out of a sip gateway?

In other words, all calls, once transferred out of the gateway appear to come from the gateway name (or more specifically the “username” value configured in the gateway xml file.

I look forward to your responses.

Thanks & Regards
Jens

PS: “caller-id-in-from” breaks the transfer.. authentication issues... so I can’t use that....

Who are you calling with the gateway? As in what provider/SIP agent?
If caller-id-in-from makes it work but breaks something else that means who you are calling expects it to be in the From: header
which is often done but has evolved into being incorrect these days.

We also send a Remote-Party-ID with the caller-id in it which most things can parse fine.
There are like 400 ways to send caller-id in sip. So we are not trying to "mess with it" you simply can't win with SIP.
