By default we send the incoming caller's phone number when you receive a call. This means that your phone (if it has a display) will show the number of the person calling you. It may show Unknown or Withheld if it is not known. There is also a caller's name field which we send as well, although this usually won't show the name (except on calls from other AAISP VoIP customers). |

| ⚫ | It's worthwhile checking that your local equipment can cope with your chosen tag. For example a phone with a seven segment display will have difficulty with some alphabetic characters, and some phones can only display 12 characters (and a typical UK phone number is 11 characters) so you'll lose some characters. |

In the 'tag' box, set it to N= (e.g. 2=), then the CLI will be sent as +11N (in our example, +112) followed by the number calling. This way you will be able to tell that the incoming call is one being redirected from your VoIP number and you still get the CLI of the caller. |
