Dynamic Caller ID Rules

The Dynamic Caller ID feature is used for changing or hiding your caller ID during outbound calls based on the previously set rules. 

For example, you are calling to the US from the UK and want to appear as calling from the US. If you have set up an automated rule for this, your caller ID will change to the US phone number you have specified in the rule.

All dynamic rules you have created are displayed in the VoIP Services section, on the Dynamic Caller ID tab.

To add a dynamic Caller ID rule:

1. Click on the plus sign next to the Dynamic rules box.
   

2. In the window that appears, fill in the fields described in the table.
   
3. Click SAVE RULE.

Field	Instructions

Apply Rule for All Calls	Select this option to apply the rule to all calls
Apply Rule for Call to specific country	Select a country from the dropdown list
Apply Rule for Call to specific prefix	Enter a calling prefix, for example, 44203 for London - UK
Caller ID Type Set by Caller	The call recipient will see the name or number you have configured as a Caller ID in your PBX.
Caller ID Type Blocked (Anonymous)	Your Caller ID will be displayed to recipients as Anonymous or Blocked.
Caller ID Type Specific Caller ID	Depending on your settings, you will have an option to choose a verified Caller ID or enter a number to use as a Caller ID. Verify Additional Caller IDs - select one of the Caller IDs that appear on the Allowed Caller IDs page. If you want to use another Caller ID, you have to verify it first‍. Then you will be able to select it from this dropdown list. Optionally, enter a name to be displayed as well. Set Caller ID Number to (E164 Format) - enter a phone number in the E.164 format to be displayed to the called party. Optionally, enter a name to be displayed as well.

Dynamic rules will apply to outgoing calls after you enable them in SIP accounts.

1. Expand VoIP Services in the left pane.
2. Go to the SIP Accounts tab.
3. Click Edit for the SIP account you wish to modify.
   
4. On theEdit SIP Account page that opens, scroll down to the CALLER ID section. Find the rule in the table and move the toggle to the right.
   

EXAMPLE 1
You want to create a random Caller ID rule for multiple phone numbers. 
You need to create multiple rules on the Dynamic Caller ID page with the same logic for different numbers. 
Activate the rules for the relevant SIP account on the Caller ID tab. 
In this example, we will create it for phone numbers 441632960393 and 441632960395.  

Rule 1: In Apply Rule for select All Calls, in Caller ID Type select Specific Caller ID and 441632960393  

Rule 2: In Apply Rule for select All Calls, in Caller ID Type select Specific Caller ID and 441632960395

This will create a random Caller ID between 441632960393  and 4416329603935 when calling from that SIP account to all destinations.

EXAMPLE 2
You want to set a German DID number for outgoing calls to Germany.
In Call to specific country you should select the country prefix for Germany (+49).
Under Set Caller ID Number to (E.164 Format): enter the German DID number you are going to use as your Caller ID for outgoing calls to Germany (e.g., +493012345678).
