Does your provider allow you to change CID?

the format is very explicit.

It should be:

“hidden”

that will trigger specific dialplan which will execute this statement:

exten => s,n(hidecid),ExecIf($["${CALLERID(name)}"="hidden"],SetCallerPres,prohib_passed_screen)

assuming your provider honors the signalling, this is what tells them not to display the number while still passing it to them.

Some provider will require a setting of “sendrpid=yes” but you would have to find that out from your provider.
