[Frage] How to select outbound DID on a trunk with multiple numbers?

[Edward Velo]

Hi,

How do I select the outbound DID on a trunk with multiple numbers? (FreePBX)

I know there is a "Outbound Caller ID" field on the Trunk setting, but what if I want to have this not always the same? So, depending on which outbound route is used? In the Outbound Route is no "Outbound Caller ID" field.

Thanks! And sorry for writing in English...

You can define the caller id either for the trunk, then every outbound call via this trunk will have the same caller id, or leave it blank in the trunk settings and set it for every single extension; The latter will cause the extension having its caller id regardless of which outgoing route or trunk is used.

By default, as far as I know - while not using FreePBX by myself - there is no way to set the caller id based on the route. You would have to set up several trunks all with the same settings (except register) but different outgoing caller ids and have theses trunks used by the routes depending on which caller id you'd like.

As an alternative approach You may set up a custom context in from-internal-custom which cares about setting the Outbound CID depending on the destination.
As rentier-s wrote there is no built-in ability in FreePBX to reach Your goal excepting a variant where You'll define separate trunks for each outgoing route (which I would find annoying).

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately I am not familiar yet with "contexts" in FreePBX. I will ask my provider to put the 2nd line on another account.
