Change outbound caller number

[Ebe]

Our outbound caller number is in the following format defined in the extension: 025122145

When we make an outbound call with one gateway I want to change that outbound caller number to +3225122145. Is that possible with Fusionpbx?

Yes you can.

What I do is create the number in "Dialplan->Destination" after that I go to the extension and in "Outbound Caller ID Number" select that particular number, and if you SIP Provider allows it, you should see the number calling.

Depending on the provider, you have to a few things to get this going. Some providers are ok with the effective_caller_id whereas some others expect sip_from_uri

Please note I use this to allow multiple providers for fail-over.

Off-Topic, What is that email option that you have there, looks interesting.

I use 2 or 3 providers per outbound route. Out of these providers the last one is usually most reliable but most expensive; so I add that provider as the last one. When other providers fail for whatever reason, calls fail-over to the next provider and the email line is triggered before invoking the last bridge; I investigate the reason if I get a couple of such emails in succession.

Yeah I also use different providers, can you provide that "lua" line? I would like to test it out, I already have smtp enabled. Thanks!

Please take a look at email.lua at Advanced-> Script Editor. There is a usage example shown in the file. If you are stuck post back with the issue.

I already have smtp enabled

I hope you mean Advanced->Default Settings->Email
