Outbound anonynous

[zcc3cx]

Hello,

3CX 14

I search but can not find it.

Is it possible to give a extention group a outbound caller id?
A customer wants for some extention groups a specific outbound caller id.
And is it possible to set that id to be anonymous?

Or, if outbound caller id for group extentions is not possible, how do we set a outbound caller id anonymous for a extention.


Regards,
Jan

Hi,

It is not possible to modify the Outbound Caller ID according to Extension Group.
To hide the Outbound Caller ID (send Privet Number, Anonymous, or something else) you need to use the "Block Outbound Caller ID" feature.
You can find it in the Settings->PBX->Dial Codes page. By default it is configured as *5, so if you will dial *5123456789, your Outbound Caller ID will be hided and "Privet Number" will be send to remote user.
*5 dial code is configurable and can be modified from the same page.
"Privet Number" is not configurable for now, but it can be changed from the custom parameters.
We are strongly suggesting to not modify the custom parameters, but if this hiding string is very critical for your customer, go to Troubleshooting->Parameters tab, search for "HIDECALLERIDINFO" custom parameter, change the Privet Number value to, let say, Anonymous. Be sure that you didn't touch any other custom parameter and press OK.

Hi,

I have a customer that wanted all calls to be anonymous but I could not find a way of doing this. Luckily in the UK if we prepend the number with 141 it make the call anonymous.

So for the extension group I created a new Outbound Rule and in the Prepend field I put 141. Now all calls get the code prepended and are anonymous.

Can you do similar?

Hope that helps

Max

@Aram,

*5123456789 works when dialing from a 3xphone app. Receiver see Anonymous. That's great.
But we can't say to everyone to ad *5 to all outgoing calls

2th option. Don't works here. 3CX v14 sp2.
Change the Privet Number value to Anonymous. Receivers still sees caller id number.
After restarting services receiver caller id number still visable.

Is there a other parameter to block all outgoing caller id to try?

Jan

You are going to need to control this with the outgoing call rules. If you edit your outbound rule, or create a rule for a specific extension group you can prepend the *5 command to all extensions that are included in that rule for outbound calls.

@aberry

That will not work because 3cx is removing the caller id when it sees the *5.
Adding a *5 to the outgong call to the provider wil not work

It seems to me that giving several numbers the same caller ID will fix your first question. What I would do is create a new extension group. Add the extensions that you want to share a caller ID to that group. After that you would either go into each extensino and give them a common caller ID, or alternatively if you want them to be anonymous you would create a new outgoing rule, that applies only to that extension group and prepend the *5.

Dag Jan,

What you can try to do, and only if your VoIP provider allows you to change the Caller ID, is to setup the Outbound Caller ID field with 10x “0”. This field can be found here: SIP trunks – Provider Trunk Name – Edit Port – Other Options
With every outgoing call you sent 0000000000 as Caller ID to the callee.
If your provider does not allow you to manipulate the Caller ID then ask them if they are willing to suppress your Caller ID.

BTW: Who is your provider, if I may ask?

Did you know we also have a Dutch 3CX forum?

@All

SOLVED!

Thanx for helping me thinking in to the right direction.

I aks the provider for the code to block caller line id and i get it.
They call it: Calling Line ID Delivery Blocking per Call and it's *65

So now i can create several outbound rules for extentions and/or extentions groups.
Put *65 in the prepend field and i'm done.
Keep it simple I'm glad.



@complex1
I know we have a ducth forum but i think more people are reading here
Off top:
I have a other problem with a PSTN Gateway Grand stream GXW4108 who's working good in version v11 but not in v14. (Edit: solved)
I'll wil open soon a new question in the forum for this in the english & ducht forum.
