[asterisk-users] Setting caller id value on outgoing calls using .call files

Hi all,

 

I was looking at a way to add the caller id to the outgoing calls (which are made using .call files) using asterisk. Any ideas how to do this ?  Currently I get 'Unknown' number displayed on my phone when asterisk makes an outgoing call.

 

Also using something like this is not working as it still displays unknown number. I want set the callerid on the 1.call which is made.

 

exten => _.,4,Set(CALLERID(all)=Joe <911>)
exten => _.,5,system(cp /var/spool/asterisk/1.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/)
 

Any suggestions how to do that.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Regards
