We have two different plans for CNAM service, metered and Flat Rate. For All the DID enabled for CNAM, we add the caller ID name to each call. If the phone number does not have registered caller ID name, we get City and State as Caller ID Name. In case of international calls we send Country Name as CNAM field.

In Metered CNAM Service you pay per query. For every call you receive you will pay flat fee. In Flat Rate, you pay only $1 per DID and get unlimited Queries (Fair Use policy apply).

What is the registration string and how can it secure the trunk?

Apr 1, 2013 | HowTo

Registration string is used to secure the SIP Trunking. The trunks will be activated only if the authentication is completed.

For configuring registration trunk we have to add this line (format) under trunk configuration as

username:password@your.provider.com:5060
