Sent caller ID depending on destination

[akito]

Hello,

I have finally managed to be able to set a 'custom' CID. I have 3 phone numbers and I can pre-set any of these numbers as the CID. Now, what I'm trying to achieve is to have 3CX set the CID depending on the destinating country.
Ie. calling to country A will use CID X and calling to country B will use CID Y so for example when people miss my phonecall they can call me back for their national rates. I thought I was able to do this by creating multiple VOIP Providers (even though that wouldn't be efficient) but I can't cause I can register only one VOIP provider with the same authentication ID.
Using outbound rules, there were stripping digits and appending digits is allowed I couldn't find the solution...

Has anyone got a clue?

do you mean can the PBX auto detect the country and automatically pick the correct port? If so then no that is not possible.

you do have a few options that can work. For example if you are using a VoIP Provider you can setup outbound caller ID in the VoIP Provider settings then create outbound rules accordingly so if you dial the UK you would press 3 for the outbound rule and then the UK caller ID would be displayed.

Thank you for your reply! Auto detect is not neccesary. Pressing a code before the number would be fine as well. Not sure though how I do that, but that could be since I'm crashing my brain on this for a while Could you give me some indications / directions? I'm using only 1 VOIP provider, that I'm using for every destination.

basically an outbound rule is a custom parameter you set to tell the PBX which port a call should go, so if you have 3 providers setup you would do the following:

outbound rule 1: "Calls to numbers starting with (prefix)" use for example number "3"
Route would be the provider you setup. And set it to strip 1 digit, ignore prepend.

so now if your calling for example "17772547854" you would dial "317772547854"

there is a lot you can do with outbound rules. There is also a good video on setting them up here:

Good luck!

Thank you once again But the problem is that I'm using only 1 VOIP-provider for my outbound calls. So far I know, caller ID's can be set in the extension as well as in the VOIP-provider settings (where you can 'hard code' the CID or read it from the extension). So I'm not sure how I would do this with outbound rules and 1 VOIP-provider.

NO need to strip numbers

we are based within the UK and for us to do what you want is as follows

prefix 01, 02, 03, 08, 07 Via Route 1 (UK Route)
prefix 001 Via Route 2 (USA Route)
Prefix 0049 Via Route 3 (Germany Route)

Try what David mentioned, I misunderstood the question it seems. I still use prefix and number stripping in my outbound rules, call me old fashioned.
