Reroute calls retaining original caller id.

Posted by stephenkkaye on Fri, 03/30/2012

1. Can anyone shed some light on how to retain the CALLERS number when sending calls to a hunt list?

2. Also I have created a script (THANKS TO EEMAN) to reroute calls directly and I want to know how to retain the ORIGINAL CALLERS CALLER ID. This is the script:

PBX Command:
exten => s,1,Dial(Local/${ARG1}@outgoing${TL_DASH}${tenant})
Arguments
arg 1 - "Number to call" type -> text

A hunt list has no option to change this setting. If calls ring an outside number, it show the tenants caller id not the originators.

simple fix is a special outbound route that uses those passthrough scripts.. then when you use the 'other number to dial' setting have it utilize that special pattern so that the code that sets the callerid is simply not employed.
