Inbound Caller ID

kdmc69 · Post by **kdmc69** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 6:42 am

I am in the process of having my number ported over from another VOIP provider. I have a forward set so any call to that number will forward to my Ooma line. Since the porting process started I have noticed that caller ID is not displayed properly on inbound calls. There are a number of different scenarios presented: Unknown Caller - Intl. Caller (with a phone number) and just all *********. In some cases the number that is displayed (though a valid number) is not the number of the party calling. However, if the Ooma number I was given when I installed is called, the caller ID works correctly. My question: once the porting process is complete, can I expect the caller id to work correctly? Thanks for any help you can provide.

my caller ID works perfectly fine.

I have a feeling its your VOIP provider not passing through the proper caller ID info to Ooma (forwarding)

You wont have any problems when the number is ported...

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I'll be finding out in a few days.

when is your port date set to complete?

Please update the thread when you have completion.. I would love to hear the outcome.

Right, after your port is completed, you should find your caller-ID working in a similar way (providing accurate caller-ID name information) as with your temporary ooma phone number.

Wow! I'm really confused now. The caller ID has started working this afternoon, but it appears the port of my number has not been completed.
When I receive a call, the ID is correct. When I place a call, the temp Ooma number is still showing up on the other person's caller id.
Think maybe the old VOIP provider that had (has) my number may have done something on their end? I'm pleased that it is now working, but if it goes away again, trim81, I'll update this thread.

Since my last post (9/22) my caller ID has continued to function as desired. Obviously my previous provider was at fault and not Ooma. My number port has been completed and is working well.
Thanks for listening.
