Before forwarding the call, try setting the effective_caller_ids, they override what's in vars.xml:

        <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=${caller_id_number}"/>

        <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name=${caller_id_name}"/>

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Maintain external caller ID on follow me forward

Her's what happening:

- I have a follow me rule after 3 rings to my internal extension then forward it to my cell phone
- someone calls from the pstn side (external caller) the calls comes in with the correct caller ID to my internal extension
- When the calls gets forwarded to my cell I get the caller ID setup on freeswitch for all outbound calls  basically I get the (Effective Caller ID Number)

How can I maintain the external caller id to show up on my cell instead of the did information i entered in freeswitch for all outbound calls.


Thanks in advance
