Dynamically Changing Outbound Caller ID / ANI

To enable this feature, you will need to have multiple valid telephone numbers billing with Binary Networks and contact our support team.

In some circumstances a user may wish to alter their outbound caller ID (or ANI) prior to making calls. For example, to display a directory number or for credit collection purposes where an Anonymous number is not suitable.

 

Option 1:

Configure multiple ANI under the extension

  • This option will put the selected ANI at the front of the list, essentially making it the primary ANI of the account. This option makes sure that the user cannot take a ANI from another account.

Once the feature has been enabled, dial *59<telephonenumber>.   The new ANI will be played back to you.

 

Option 2:

This allows a user to use any ANI preconfigured on the system (For any extension).

  • Any ANI in this domain: With this option, the user can assign any ANI that exists in the domain to the account. This makes it possible to move ANI around in the domain. This option is not recommended in scenarios where per ANI/extension/DID billing is required.

Once the feature has been enabled, dial *59<telephonenumber>.   The new ANI will be played back to you.
