I'm using the FritzBox with Voipcheap for outgoing calls
I have registered my landline caller-id (format 003256xxxx) with Voipcheap
client.
This worked for many months now ....
But recently, many - not all - outgoing calls are not coming with the
caller-id presented

Checked with another user in Belgium - he has the same problem.

Anybody else having the same issues ?

I can only see 2 reasons:
* or a problem (temporarely I hope) at Voipcheap
* or the Belgian Telephone Company (Belgacom) does not like calls from
outside their network with a Belgian caller-id, and intercepts these calls.
I would suspect the latter, if users outside Belgium are not experiencing
the same issues....

Any touhts ?

In UK, BT block all international CLI and present it as "International" (the
theory being that they can't validate it). As a lot of the vc.com calls are
"bounced" to a third country a lot of the time, this happens a lot.

I guess if it only tends to happen with one inbound provider (and not on
mobiles for example) then I would tend to suspect an issue with a carrier
downstream.

..com or dot.co.uk?

I set up my voipcheap.com line to send my landline
number, but I only did it 6 days ago, after seeing a post
about it here. I am using a Linksys PAP2 but
accessing my providers via Voxalot, so I needed to
put the "authorised" CLI in the Voxalot "from user"
setting. It seems to work 100% of the time to
BT lines, Vodaphone (UK) and Orange (UK).

I suggest you try to verify your land-line phone number again. I did
recently to enable CallerID on my Linksys SPA 3102 and it works like a
charm.

Doesn't seem to be as my land-line number appears correctly.[color=blue]

Nope, as I'm also a Belgian citizen.[color=blue]

Interesting. The BT PRI we use at work regularly displays CallerID numbers
for calls from the US, Gibraltar and Singapore.

Not at all. I have an international line. When I ring friends on it the
number comes up as 00xxx xxxxxxx etc etc. Same as my mobile if i ring the uk
on that, the CLID is presented with no issues.

If the number is withheld, and international you get the symptoms your
describing.

I can confirm this. I had the same problem with Voipdiscount and when I
checked the client the verifications had gone. I re-verified and now
Caller ID now works well from my ATA and also via Voxalot. Seems as if
you to have to check it regularly.

I haven't worked out the timing but it could be related to the top-up.
When you think about it there is a logic in it because you could well
have moved and lost your true number at some stage. Would be nice to
have a reminder though.

Perhaps you post a message in their forum suggesting this reminder.
Would be very helpful sometimes.
In the meanwhile getting a notification of running out of credit would
be welcome too, especially if you're using their service with a
SIP-enabled device instead of their client.

calls out using VC work fine with mobiles but not on BT (often shows as
international).

I guess it could be the fact that it is sent as a presentation number then?
