[Freeswitch-users] Call redirect

[Ken Rice]

Some places actually require clid to be allowed from the customer.  Clid spoofing is a problem yes but its not that big of one. Not to mention billing customers based on that is a problem its still easy to spoof.  Its like billing on.customer inserted tech prefixes which is ripe for abuse.

The real fix is to start linking back to billing info (btn) like is/was done on tdm networks and you can still properly track things

If you could prove ownership to Y & Z and they had a configurable whitelist then they might be able to add them to the list since they can then trust you for those numbers, but they couldn't do that for any random number you might send.

If you have DIDs from say Carrier X, and you want your calls to be able to go out Carriers Y & Z and you don’t have any DIDs with carrier Y & Z how are you supposed to terminate with them... Even better you have a few DIDs with all of them, you should be able to send CLID for any of your DIDs out any of your carriers...
