Alter Caller ID on Hunt Group calls

We have 2 SIP trunks which are on a “Hunt Group” at the providers (Telstra Digital Business) end.
It is two lines and another “Hunt Group”. When anyone calls via the Hunt Group, the Caller ID “Hunt Group xxxxx” is displayed.

Is it possible to change the incoming caller ID to the actual caller’s ID?

This is the pjsip_debug.

For the record, it’s not the Caller ID (CID) you’re looking at, but the Caller Name (CNAM). I’m pretty sure the numer is somewhere on the screen, but it may not show depending on the size of your screen as CNAM is mostly first, with CID under or behind it.

You can do this with Superfecta, by enabling the Data Source “Abandon Lookup”. Enable the option “Use CID” and Bob should be your uncle (and ofcourse enable Superfecta lookup on each inbound route. It’s on the tab Other, Enable Superfecta Lookup).

I personally use this succesfully to show my CNAM properly. I get both CID and CNAM as E164, with or without the + before countrycode. I first convert the CID to something that can be called back from the phone history (through extensions_custom.conf, and then with the above Superfecta the CID is copied into the CNAM field.
Your CID already looks ok and dialable, so you won’t need this.

This seems redundant, but my OCD prevents me from accepting “+3112234455” <012234455> in my screens. It looks stupid to me :slight_smile:
