Yes, this is the same behavior I'm seeing with Broadvoice. What seems to make it even worse for this is that when callers receive my outgoing call, its showing the correct CID for the outgoing line, but the Name that is showing is always 'BroadVoice'. I asked them to have this changed to my company name, but it doesn't seem to have had any affect. I suspect that there is some master database somewhere that recipient phones lookup based on the number to get the name? If so, its not correctly identifying our company name on phones so I'm looking for alternative outbound carriers for this. The inbound, however, works well. I'm sure its not the least expensive option out there but so far its been pretty good. Myles -- ======================= Myles Wakeham Director of Engineering Tech Solutions USA, Inc.
