Failed to Make Calls from TE/TB to SIP trunk When Caller ID is Blank

Symptom

In some cases, the ISDN PBX/Line would send blank caller ID to our gateways. If you could login the SSH and Asterisk CLI, you could find the logs like the following:

You would the there is no caller ID behind the "from".

Refer this guide to enter the Asterisk CLI and get the logs: Asterisk CLI

-- Accepting overlap call from '' to '0412345678' on channel 0/12, span 2

-- Starting simple switch on 'DAHDI/12-1'

Although the call flow is successful to dial out by SIP trunk, but the the SIP Trunk provider returns 403, 404 response or other fatal response to gateways.

If you enable the SIP  debug, you would see the following SIP packets. That gateway is trying to send the anonymous caller ID.

(* In the log, we hidden the public IP and use fake number)

Solution

1. Add/Edit the /persistent/etc/sip_extend.conf in the SSH.

change the parameter enableanonymous from "yes" to "no"

2. Fill the line number in the Caller ID field.

3. Reboot your gateway to let the change take effect. Then test again.
