[cisco-voip] Verizon and MCID

[Norton, Mike]

I am not a lawyer but everybody here ought to know that Caller ID is as easy to fake as the return address on an envelope. It would probably only hold up in court if the defense council doesn’t think of point this fact out to the court.

When you initiate an official trace with the carrier, they’re not just looking at the Caller ID.

CUCM 8.6.6

We are planning on implementing the MCID feature on all phones in case of a Malicious Call so we can then have a call tagged.  Since there are 2 parts to the tagging…

1.       In CUCM

2.       At Verizon (our PRI carrier)


-          we have tried working with Verizon on enabling this feature and they are having a hard time figuring it out.

Our questions is – do we really need Verizon involved in a Malicious Call anyway? Will our call data from CUCM that we report on hold up in a court of law if there was an emergency such as a bomb threat or other type of serious threat?

Has anyone else ever dealt with this situation?

Thanks.
