(Some examples of SIP From headers and SIN 227 messages)
 
==Caller's Number and Name==
The protocol used (SIP) to deliver phone calls to you has fields which provide the caller's number and the caller's "name" - although the name will probably not be received for calls from the PSTN. Where the name field received is the same as the number field, we will send to you the name field set to the "pretty format" of the caller's number - e.g. "020 1234xxxx 5678xxxx", "07973 123456xxxxxx". If the name field is set to something different than the number then it will be passed on to you - in general this will only apply to calls from other AAISP VoIP customers, or from calls received using sip: URIs.
 
Your local hardware will display either the number, the name, or both (or neither if it has no display...). If you have an Analogue Telephone Adaptor set to sending caller display to your analogue phone(s) using BT's SIN 227 standard, then this standard also has fields for caller's number and caller's name and those fields will be populated.
 
For some examples, a SIP From header could be:
"07973 xxxxxx" <sip:07973xxxxxx@voiceless.aa.net.uk>;tag=2018122611233000003
becoming (through a Grandstream ATA) the SIN 227 message:
NMBR = 07973xxxxxx DATE = 1226 TIME = 1123 NAME = 07973 xxxxxx
 
An anonymous call would have a SIP From header like:
"Anonymous" <sip:Anonymous@voiceless.aa.net.uk>;tag=2018122611244000001
becoming
NMBR = O DATE = 1226 TIME = 1124 NAME = Anonymous
 
and a SIP URI call could have a SIP From header of:
"30164xxx" <sip:%3f30164xxx@voiceless.aa.net.uk>;tag=2018122611314200003
becoming
NMBR = O DATE = 1226 TIME = 1131 NAME = 30164xxx
 
(In the SIN 227 messages, a NMBR of 'O' means 'Unavailable' and 'P' means 'Withheld').
