Question

I am using Asterisk PBX to call a softphone, i use thise command : “originate SIP/100 extension 4004” , in the dialplan, I have to get the CALLERID variable, but in this case, it’s always empty!

P.S : if i call the extension (4004), from the softphone(100), the CALLERID is set, and I can get it with : ${CALLERID(num)}.

How to get the caller id in the originate case?

Answer 1

the final solution i am using now :

• i call my extention from a php script (originate SIP/100 extension 777)
• i write my extension to a text file (file_put_contents)
• then i read it in the asterisk dial plan, and set this variable as the caller ID Set(CALLERID(num)=${caller_id}

i didn’t find another solution.
