[SIPForum-discussion] outgoing phone number

[Broussard, Dan]

Many times you have to put in a default BTN.

The problem however is that putting in a toll free number...if the call does get routed...the default jurisdiction is IntraState Long distance. So no chance of local calling.

This is a bad habit that carries over from the TDM world. Where 1 customer was hooked up to 1 tie line to 1 DMS 500 [local switch]. Thus the switch knew the true originating telephone number. However in our world this is not the case. It's a matter of "weeding" out this bad habit and getting bad to standards.

They could keep the FROM field with the BTN and Remote-Party-ID with the Tollfree number. This should give the desired caller ID behavior on the far end of the call.

Subject: [SIPForum-discussion] outgoing phone number

What do I do if I have a subscriber that only has a toll-free number and the subscriber places a call to the PSTN?  What do I use for the outgoing phone number if the PSTN will not accept the subscriber's toll-free number as the outgoing phone number?  How can I set up the headers so that I do not violate any rules?
