Thanks Markus & John for the replies. The mystery remains but that thread you sent John from 3 years ago appears to be similar re: symptoms. We'll keep hunting this down with our carrier. ?On 10/13/18, 6:17 AM, "VoiceOps on behalf of Markus" <voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org on behalf of universe at truemetal.org> wrote: Am 13.10.2018 um 05:29 schrieb Darren Schreiber: > About three weeks ago we began receiving random reports > from different customers that inbound calls were displaying the Caller > ID 845-789-0000.

Is it from their US cell phone directly via their cell provider? Is it from a landline in the US? Because, if it is some kind of VoIP service or if these calls originate from people living abroad or if they are currently roaming, it could be that the CLI is simply forged by the originating carrier or somewhere along the path and was set to some spontaneously made up value (789-0000 = 7 8 9 0 <- may be legit but since the digits are consecutive... it is something that I would type if I had to make up a number quickly). If it really from their cell phone or landline then I would also go with the misconfiguration theory. _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
