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 From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Jun Sun Sent: Monday, December 30, 2013 5:59 PM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] strange behavior in setting origination_caller_id_number Switching to "{}" makes no difference here.

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.
