Outgoing callerid name

[frankd1]

Cost Plus is Bandwidth.com. Same company that powers Google Voice. In some areas they bought an existing CLEC and merged it into theirs and it still has the old name.

Thanks Tim... I googled them after I posted and saw they were a substantial company- I should have checked before posting. Sorry about the crack about discount... I was in a pretty foul mood (for other reasons) when I was typing my post.

But do they offer outbound CNAM? I don't use Google Voice, and from checking out bandwidth.com's site, I couldn't see outbound CNAM as a bullet item on any of their products (just inbound).

Bandwidth offers it, but they are still working on the way to manage it internally.

They are manually doing it for us for all of our "migrated" DIDs that we moved from Level3.

Once they get the processes/systems in place to process the updates automatically, they will roll it out to all DIDs including newly issued ones.

They have a lot of cool things that we'll be able to access soon including incoming SMS, etc.

Very cool, thanks I was able to personally verify my CID Name is good now. For what it's worth, I was calling a Verizon landline before, and it was coming up with "Private Name" and my number. Not "private" all together, just that listed for the name.

Brian-

Based on your sig, I'm assuming the VZ landline you verified with was in MD? Because the VZ landline I've been verifying w/ is in PA (my parents), so I would think they'd be dipping from the same db, and my name still isn't showing (my ticket went in on Sat). Do you know which carrier is handling your VOIPo#? (As mentioned before, mine is with L3).

Thanks in advance,
Frank
