For extra clarification:  

effective_caller_id_name/number is the old construct from before the invention of bracketed variables.
It's basically a variable you set on an inbound leg to the dialplan that will override the caller_id that is copied over to the B leg when the bridge application is executed.  If you don't set it the caller_id_name/number will be taken from the A.  set_profile_var on caller_id_name/number is a more permenant version of the same idea.  Originally the profile vars were not editable directly so the variable was necessary.  The problem with either approach is that the change is semi-permenant so every time that same channel may execute the bridge-statement, it will use the newly modified values instead of the original caller id.


origination_caller_id_name/number (and any other variables that begin with "origination_") are specifically for the curly brackets which is more portable because it can be used in originate statements on one-legged outbound calls.  Each variable holds the exact values you wish to use in the outbound leg.

Thanks for the all the helping. Now I have beaten this issue to death.

I did a SIP tracing. Peter is right on money. My SIP provider does not like "0000000000" to be caller id number. To be specific and to add confusion, their server doesn't like if it is 10 zero's. (All other cases are fine, e.g, 9 zero's!)  Their server would return service not available .  That is why we see NORMAL_TEMPORARY_FAILURE.

It is good to know the world is still sane, except for the little 10 zero quirk from IDT. :)

Cheers. And happy new year.

Your first “set”  line has a typo:

   <action application="set" data="origination_caller_id_number=${outbound_calller_id_number"/>

It is missing the closing “}” on ${outbound_calller_id_number". So origination_caller_id_number is not being set. 

 

I think that is why these fail:

      <!--action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/-->  <== NOT WORK
      <!--action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/idt/$1"/--> <== NOT WORK

As per the wiki, effective_caller_id_number cannot be set in an origination string, so this fails:

<action application="bridge" data="{effective_caller_id_number=111111}sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/>  <== NOT WORK

 

And this works because you are finally assigning a value to origination_caller_id_number:

<!--action application="bridge" data="{origination_caller_id_number=111111}sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/--> <== WORKS

 

Use the LOG application to check your values before the bridge statement, like this:

<action application="log" data="INFO origination_caller_id_number is $origination_caller_id_number "/>

 

Hope that helps,

Sean

Switching to "{}" makes no difference here. See the updated rules below.

This is driving me nuts because there is no way for me to set caller id dynamically (because I cannot do that inside the data field). Why would freeswitch ignore channel variable set? And why would it insist on origination_caller_id_number?

  <extension name="domestic.example.com">
    <condition field="${toll_allow}" expression="domestic"/>
    <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{11})$">
      <action application="set" data="origination_caller_id_number=${outbound_calller_id_number"/>
      <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=${outbound_caller_id_number}"/>
      <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name=${outbound_caller_id_name}"/>
      <!--action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/-->  <== NOT WORK
      <!--action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/idt/$1"/--> <== NOT WORK
      <!--action application="bridge" data="{origination_caller_id_number=$${outbound_caller_id_number}}sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/--> <== NOT WORK
      <action application="bridge" data="{effective_caller_id_number=111111}sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/>  <== NOT WORK
      <!--action application="bridge" data="{origination_caller_id_number=111111}sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/--> <== WORKS
      <!--action application="bridge" data="[origination_caller_id_number=111111]sofia/gateway/${default_gateway}/$1"/-->  <== WORKS
    </condition>
  </extension>

IN the case when it does not work, I got NORMAL_TEMPORARY_FAILURE:

2013-12-30 22:53:12.876331 [NOTICE] sofia.c:6623 Hangup sofia/external/15102991913 [CS_CONSUME_MEDIA] [NORMAL_TEMPORARY_FAILURE]

Sorry! The 2nd "NOT WORK" example was meant to show setting "effective_caller_id_number", not "origination_caller_id_number". So the correct dialplan is as follows.

    <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{11})$">
      <action application="set" data="origination_caller_id_number=11111111"/>

      <action application="bridge" data="[origination_caller_id_number=111111]sofia/gateway/idt/$1"/> <=== WORKS!!

There a couple of things strange here:

1. I have to put origination_caller_id_number inside data field of "bridge" application in order for the dialing out to happen.  Why putting it outside as channel variable does not work?

2. Actually because bridge command is for leg-B, really it should be "effective_caller_id_number" not "origination_caller_id_number".  Is that right?

I'm using IDT express as SIP carrier. I don't know if they changed something or I changed configuration in freeswitch. Now it seems I have to set origination_caller_id_number if I want to use IDT for outbound calls.

I'd really appreciate your help.

Cheers.
