Hi TheDragon

Would you mind telling me what firmware version you are using with your
DrayTek?

I'm also using a DrayTek 2800VG (firmware V2.8 but I've tried this in the
past with some older versions) and I've been trying to get it to send my
landline number as CLID with my VoipStunt account, but haven't had any
success.

The landline number has been confirmed and works fine if I use the VoipStunt
software client to make a call, but I can't get it to work with the DrayTek.
I've tried all the possible formats (International +441xxxxxxxxx and
00441xxxxxxxxx, and National 01xxxxxxxxx ) for entering the number into the
"Display Name" field for the account, but nothing will work. All that
happens is that the CLID which is sent is that of the associated free DID
number (0115xxxxxxx).

I've tried de-registering and re-registering the account in between changing
the numbers to no avail.

Stumped.

I am using V2.8 UK.

As I found out the displayname field means nothing. Put your number in the
account field. Then put your account details in the Authentication ID field
and tick the box. I have the number in there in normal UK format 012xx
xxxxxx. If i ring the UK it comes up in uk format. If i ring abroad it comes
as 0044xxxxxxx

I had to ensure the number was verified as it wouldnt work otherwise.

Thanks for your answer, I've now done as you explained with some success.
I've entered my number in UK National format (01xxxxxxxxx) and now if I call
a mobile or one of my Sipgate numbers I get the CLID displayed correctly as
01xxxxxxxxxx as you explained, but if I call my BT landline (the one whose
number I am using as CLID) the CLID is not displayed, I just get
"International" or "Unavail" on the 2 phones I have with caller display. I
suppose this could be that the BT system prevents the called phone receiving
/ displaying its own number as the caller as it would be impossible to call
itself.

Anyway, thanks again for that solution. :-)

Well I just tried registering and verifying one of my Sipgate numbers and
substituting it as CLID.

The same thing happens when calling my landline (ie CLID not passed
through), so it seems it's BT blocking it.

Yes, I see my Voipcheap.com "Presentation Number" stripped by BT, in
/some/ cases.

It is usually stripped ringing home but not when I call the office. It
seldom fails when ringing any mobile or cable phone.

Do you always call to a BT landline? Or perhaps your family are using a
different provider for their landline service?
