| Can you get the recipient to get CLID on there phone so
erm
If I phone someone with internet calls is it possible that the recipient is
shown a number via CLID so they know who's calling and can call back
ermm.. I hope thats clear ;)

If you're asking about www.internetcalls.com, what number gets
presented to the person you are calling.?......then, unless you've
"bought" a VoIP In number, then no.....and I believe you cannot obtain
one at the moment/anymore
On some of the betamax clones, you can specify an outgoing CLI - any
you like, apparently. I cannot get the same functionality with
internetcalls.com. (Search this group for {{{{{Welcome}}}}'s thread on
this subject)
there is a section in the control panel to add other numbers, however,
I cannot see anything that allows me to present these numbers for
outbound calls. One thing that /is/ promised is to be able to present
your actual mobile number on outgoing text messages sent from your
account. This involves a verification text being sent, which is
chargeable, you then enter the code into your account......I got the
text, but the code would not work.
If anyone can prove me wrong, I would like to know how to set it up
myself!

My comments below refer to voipcheap.co.uk. They may also pertain to other
clones.
In the softphone go to tools-options-call settings
you should have a dropdown menu called 'your voip-in phonenumber'
with all the numbers you entered in file- your personal profile.
If yours has a fixed field that cannot be changed, it is because the account
you are using came with a voip-in number.
Sign up again for a new account and log in with the new credentials and see
the difference.
(You will get some free trial calls even if you don't topup).
I never managed to use a voipcheap.co.uk account for spoofing CLI *other*
than
using the softphone, anyone got Asterisk to do it?

It doesn't work on a new internetcalls account.

nor on a new voipcheap.com account - they don't even give you a voip-in
number (CLI is withheld unless using the callback facility, when it presents
the callback number). I take it that I am not doing something wrong?

Yes, I tried it on the .com variant, and it doesn't work.
voipcheap.co.uk is the only one that I can vouch for,
with the proviso that the account didn't come with a number.
