I have a client which is in need of using a random caller ID from a list of caller IDs. I found an article here vicidial-tutorials-and-self-help-articles/set-random-caller-id-in-vicidial-and-goautodial/
But I can’t seem to get it to work on FreePBX. I don’t mess with the contexts.
I tried the following in the extensions_custom.conf
[macro-dialout-trunk-predial-hook]
exten => s,1,AGI(randomcid1.php)
exten => s,2,Dial(PJSIP/voiptrunk/${EXTEN:1})
exten => s,3,Hangup
My trunk name is voiptrunk. But the caller ID never gets changed. The calls come up as private number. In the logs, here is a snippet.
