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).
 
Where an incoming call has been made using a [[VoIP_-_Calling_With_a_SIP_URI|SIP URI]] rather than the PSTN the 'number' of the person calling cannot be trusted (and may be not purely numeric) , and so we prefix that 'number' with a '?' to indicate the potential untrustworthyness.
NMBR = O DATE = 1226 TIME = 1131 NAME = 30164xxx
 
(The '%3f' is the URL encoding of the '?' we added)
(In the SIN 227 messages, a NMBR of 'O' means 'Unavailable' and 'P' means 'Withheld').
