Abstract:
The present invention is a method for providing caller ID information for outgoing telephone calls from a company which is required to provide caller ID information to the number called. The system reviews each outgoing call at a switch cluster of a carrier to determine if the call requires caller ID information. Should the call require caller ID information, the system will determine if the outgoing telephone call is carrying the originating call's caller ID information or a valid caller ID information packet. If the call is not carrying any caller ID information or an invalid caller ID information packet, the system of the present invention will provide a predetermined caller ID information packet to the switch cluster to be matched with the call. In instances where caller ID information is not required, the system will allow the call to continue without analyzing the caller ID information.
