[VoiceOps] IAM callername instead of CNAM

Why do terminating carriers listen to the contents of the GenericName field, one might ask? (Shouldn't they be doing a CNAM dip unconditionally, after all?) Because Canadian calls implement caller ID with name that way. They don't use a CNAM database like we do in the US. If you ignore GenericName, you lose out on caller ID with name data on Canadian calls.

I wish all carriers would do this. Sure would make life a lot easier for me. Why wouldn't you? -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 Advanced phone services simplified
