BT Home Hub - What CLID is sent?

If I phone someone from a BT Home HUB, do they see a new number come up on
their calledid, or my original landline number?

Thanks,

Fred.

I'd have expected them to see the number (usually an 0845 number) that you
are allocated for incoming calls on the HomeHub. CLID should be the number
of the line that is calling you so people can call you back on the same
line -always assuming that you're not calling from behind a switchboard.
Mind you, one company where I worked passed CLID of the individual extension
that was calling - or rather its DDI number. Never come across that before
or since.

AFAIK If you dial 5 in front of the number the call is routed oer the
PSTN and the CLI is that of your landline, if you dial without the 5 I
understand the call goes over Broadband talk and a different number is
displayed, I have a friend whos broadband talk is in the form of 01xxx
xxxxxx 056 numbers were also issued at one point.

Hmmm. Thanks for the info.

My mates was sending the CLID of his landline DECT phone. I wonder if the
Home Hub handset had paired itself with the DECT base-station rather than
the Home Hub?

On BT boxes it has an 05x number. Obviously not geographic and potentially
expensive for land / mobile callers to ring back.

Other SP's can get it right.

I have a geo phone number on my homehub, even get sales calls on it. When
I set Broadband talk up I was asked if I wanted a 0191 or the daft 05 one.

When I set up Broadband Talk with BT, I was offerred the choice of an 05 or
a geographic number.
