No, you don’t understand the problem. The variable “effective_caller_id_number” is set in the user directory config (see the xml), but if I try to write the value of the variable out to the CLI (in the dial plan via “<action application="log" data="ERR effective_caller_id_number=${effective_caller_id_number}"/>”), I can see, the variable is empty. Here again the description part from the freeswitch wiki: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/XML+User+Directory#XMLU... “Any variables defined in the domain or user will be defined as channel variables when there is a call to user or when there is an inbound calls from that user.” Von: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] Im Auftrag von Don Hawkins Gesendet: Montag, 12.

I think not. What do I wrong?
