[cisco-voip] caller id already in?

[Paul Choi]

Ryan,

Thanks a lot! I appreciate you taking the time to
answer my question about FXO 'caller-id enable.'

Does the LEC have to have something particular setup
for this to work? From my experiences, the 'caller-id
enable' command only made the phone ring more times
until the gateway picked up *and* the IP phones didn't
display any caller information.

This was a CCME installation in the middle of very
rural Mississippi. If I get a chance to try the
command again with users, I'll see if I can get it to
work or not but I am not too keen on the extra phone
rings because of the caller's perception that the
customer is taking too long to answer phone calls.

Sincerely,
Paul
