Caller-ID SIP – Displaying Names for PSTN Callers

Calling Party’s Name is not passed through carriers, only the Calling Party’s phone number is passed through. This results in having the caller-id display as a phone number on an Internal Phone. In some cases I’ve had requests to setup a handful of key PSTN/Mobile phone numbers to resolve from phone number to display name. Below is how an example configuration piece on a Cisco IOS Gateway that I configure to resolve phone numbers to display names.
