CNAM provider integration via URL

Posted by matthewmalk248 on Mon, 02/27/2017

I haven't seen this talked about lately, but does anyone else desire an option to use services like OpenCNAM Plus and CallerIdService? My carriers CNAM provider frankly stinks for incoming wireless calls and international, plus I hate paying $1 on 50 DIDs when my customer may only get a couple incoming calls a week on a 49 of those DIDs.

I use a 3rd party for CNAM that connects via curl. I have an AGI script called from dialplan that will retrieve callerid name, then cache the name for a predefined amount of time (to reduce cost). If the query comes back empty it then looks up city/state in another table to at least generate that result.
