[cisco-voip] CID

[Joe Cisco]

Maybe I misunderstood... I was under the impression that the same
group of people called out on behalf of each different group and
therefore needed to be able to choose which caller ID they needed. If
the same person is always in the same group (always needs the same
caller ID and his/her caller ID never changes) then yes, by all means
you could just have a CSS for each group. Or better yet would be to
simply set the "external phone number mask" on each individual user's
line to be whatever it needs to permanently be, and set your single
route pattern to "use calling party's external phone number mask". You
wouldn't need all of those extra CSS's.

This ALL assumes that you have a PRI that you can control outbound caller ID on.
