[VoIP] Valid CLID

[Dennis D Hock]

I agree with John.  Iknow we have had this discussion previously I guess I
haven't had my mind on it enough to understand but I don't see the need for
the 200 yet, if ever in CNET.  I think if for the US members or NANP
members we send either a 1nxx-xxxx or nxx-xxxx as the CLID for our calls
with the caveat that in general it be a dialable somehow answered number
even if only a announcement of some type.

As a thought if the day should come do we want / need to use a NPA should
we immediately apply a 3 digit NPA or possibly simply break the NANPA into
say ten location areas?  Each area could be a single digit allowing a good
section of the country to be encompassed under a single digit NPA code.
Although this veers away from current practice it might make it more
palatible for many of us who would like to dial a standard set of yet
minimum digits.  Thoughts anyone?

That  +12691212 is my number throguh Gregs tandem.  Not exactly sure why
the + is appended onto the front of the number.

Since I opened my mouth, I would suggest sending a valid CNET number
that could be returned. Perhaps some even have the ability, or should
would, do a "return call" so either 1+NXX-XXXX or NXX-XXXX for North
America.
Sorry my mind STILL can't get around the open numbering plan to offer a
suggestion there.
Sending the "200" NPA never made much sense to me either. Perhaps I
can't see where CNET will ever have to go beyond 7 digit dialing for
North America, and  the current International scheme.

Fairly simple to change the Motorola to use a 7 digit number. I have
found that the user name and number must match, which seems to be an
Asterisk limitation. I could be wrong on that, as it has been a couple
of months since I messed with the VT 1005

Simple enough to have each device report its CLID, or use one CLID that
reflects a good callback number.
Also would be nice to either send a name or some device identifier. I
probably need to re examine some of mine as well for that.

That should also work, if the dialplan is programmed correctly.
I allow dialing as either 7 digits, 1 plus seven digits for North
America, though I never dial it that way myself my portal will accept
that format

Bet that is Dennis Hock through Greg's switch. I suppose a return call
could parse that into a good CNET number

Why not simply get rid of the 200 NPA??

CNET expects 1 plus 7 digits for the DNS/ENUM to work properly, but 7
digit CLID for North America is what I consider ideal.


Just my opinion, though
