      Is there anyway to have the extension number of the person calling as the Caller ID for Follow Me?

          @scottalanmiller I am forwarding to a cell phone, but I want the outgoing caller ID to be the Internal Extension number.

            Don't believe that you can do that, remember that the call is coming from the DID, not the extension.

              Not to sound Dense after my short self imposed exile.... - But . That isn't how it works as I understand.

              The CallerID and Follow-Me just don't mesh here - At least as I understand things. (Chime in here JB and SAM)...

              When a person calls INTO the PBX and hits your Extension it hits your Follow-Me - and would then Ring your cell phone.

              Your cell phone would show the Calling persons CID.

              If YOU call that person - you aren't using the PBX to facilitate the call - so the Follow-Me / Ext number won't show - since you aren't going through the PBX...

              I now wait to be corrected.

                I think that that is more the explanation of why you wouldn't want to show the extension. Even if you got the extension to show, it wouldn't be something that you could call back.

                  Can CID handle 10+(extension)?? I mean, I've seen six digit extensions... generally you use the Main Business number as your CID.

                  but that depends on preference.

                    Yes, CID as a technology can show more. Has to for some countries.

                      Per Scott's question

                      @scottalanmiller said in FreePBX - Follow Me - CallerID:

                      You mean internal to internal calling?

                      Are you meaning when an internal person calls your desk, and you've set forwarding to your cell, you want to see the extension of the internal person who is calling you?

                      i.e. Scott at ext 120 is calling you at ext 130, but 130 is forwarded to your cell phone, on your cell phone, you want to see Ext 120.

                      I know when receiving calls on a certain inbound DID/Trunk, you can set FreePBX to add something to the CID so you know it came from that DID/Trunk... no clue if that can be setup for outbound.

                        Exactly.

                          In theory you can, but your trunk might not like it and your users I'm sure won't when it obscures who is calling making everyone look like a fake caller...

                            You can force caller ID however you want. It is just a matter of the specific customization.

                            By default, these are your only options. You would have to get into a custom Asterisk context to do more.

                            And your iPhone will show is as a number from what ever country code matches the first part of the extension. (5100 will show as Peru).

                            I used a CID prefix in one situation. doesn't come through to my cell phone, but passes through an IAX2 trunk to my desk phone nicely.
