    I have always received international phone calls as Private Number so
    presumed that Caller ID could not cross international boundaries.
    Monday I got a call from NZ with the number clearly displayed! I'm on
    Voda and the NZ number was a Telecom landline. Is this new? Is it a
    fluke? Is it widespread? I emailed a friend in Europe who promptly
    rang but his number didn't come thru, so is it restricted to just
    certain telcos?

    Probably (as I've always suspected) just a matter of both and maybe any
    intermediate networks having it enabled. Most of them are just too lazy
    to enable such options.

    Yes, you are probably right. Just wonder why Telecom NZ turned it on.
    Since last night I've got friends in Sth Africa, England, Dubai and
    Shanghai to call me and all came thru Private Number. That same NZ
    number called five days before and it was Private then (and no they
    don't have their number suppressed), but revealed this week!

    Likely because it was just as easy to turn it on as to turn it off.

    There is much behind the scenes work necessary to allow International
    CLI into a domestic network.
    Most of the PSTN in incapable of correctly handling Int CLI, and so
    the type of destination has to be considered if the CLI is in Int
    format. If the destination is not capable, then the CLI must be
    suppressed. Diverted calls, where the original CLI is Int format is
    another headache.
    It sounds pretty easy, but it's been a nightmare to do the little bit
    we've got.
    Consider, how would you display an international CLI on the your home
    phone, in a format capable of being re-dialled, hmm? There's no '+'
    key on my home phone, and PSTN switches still accept the old loop
    disconnect decadic dialling too. No '+' there either.
    If you get CLI, enjoy it, but don't bag the fact that you don't ALWAYS
    get it.
    The easiest way to make it universally available would be to build an
    entire new network, worldwide, and that ain't gonna happen anytime
    soon.

    Yer, good post.

    Telstra are doing lots behind the scenes to deliver international caller ID

    If they're introducing this, then this will be ****hot. We have rellos
    overseas, so when they call us the caller ID says "Overseas". (the
    Panasonic cordless pronounces it as "omerrty".

    So if we can start getting the CLID from overseas calls then this'll be
    brilliant. We could, once and for all, ignore all the overseas calls that
    we receive that don't have recognisable numbers, or that are blocked. Save
    us jumping up for the phone each time we get a call from OS, as we don't
    know if it's the kids calling or some curry muncher trying to sell us a
    phone service.

    What's the + symbol got to do with it? When we dial OS we simply dial 0011
    followed by the country ID and the number.

    You might. Those of us with mobiles who roam prefer to use the method
    that works seamlessly in all countries: +

    Whatcha on about? On a mobile the convention is + <country code> <etc etc

    0011 also works

    "on a GSM mobile"

    Not on a CDMA. Somewhat annoying when roaming with a CDMA mobile (yes,

    OK, try this. You get a call and the Caller ID says 01112129993838.
    Where has it come from, eh?
    Now, if it presented as + 12129993838 you could redial it, and end up
    in New York USA, but only if you could send '+'
    So, maybe we need something which sees '+' but converts that to 0011
    in Australia for CLI presentation. The 011 used in USA is useless to
    us here.
    When you dial a number with a gsm phone, not only are the digits sent,
    but information such as TON (Type Of Number) is sent as well. It
    defaults to "Unknown" which means "take all the digits and analyse
    them as you like".
    But, if you dial '+' the TON is sent as "International" along with the
    digits, and switch can analyse them accordingly.
    So we have a solution for gsm phones, as they understand the '+' or
    TON info.
    But a pstn phone, or a PABX extension for that matter, is a whole
    different ballgame.
    If a CLI display shows +<cli>, the pstn phone is incapable of sending
    TON International to call back.
    So, the switch either has to "know" there is only a dumb terminal out
    there, and translate the TON to unknown, and add a prefix of 0011, or
    hope that the CLI display hardware can do the conversion.
    A real can of worms here!

    Be happy any time you get International CLI, 'cause it's not easy to
    do.
