What it is.

A route sold as CLI can still rewrite, truncate or strip the number somewhere down the chain. Caller ID testing places real calls to handsets in the destination country and reports what was actually displayed. Ring every route in a marketplace search at once, qualify a route before a campaign goes on it, check every member of a Revenue Turbine blend, and hold a supplier to the CLI they sold you with a dated result.

Per reported result, charged only if the route rings

How it works.

  1. 01

    Choose what to test

    A marketplace route before you buy it, every route in a search, a route you own or bought, every member of a blend, or a switch PacketExchange does not host.

  2. 02

    Set the caller ID

    Enter the number to present. You see whether a handset in the destination is reachable now, and what the test costs, before you request it.

  3. 03

    A real call goes out

    The call is placed over the route to an opted-in handset in that country, and the person holding the phone reports the number that displayed.

  4. 04

    Read the verdict

    Match, Partial, Replaced or Restricted, with the number you sent beside the number shown.

Questions

Who answers the test call?
A person with an opted-in handset in the destination country. The call arrives on their phone like any other, and they report the caller ID that displayed. That report is the result.
What do Match, Partial, Replaced and Restricted mean?
Match: your caller ID displayed exactly as sent. Partial: a truncated or reformatted version displayed. Replaced: the network overwrote it with a different number. Restricted: the caller ID was withheld and nothing displayed.
Can I test a route before I buy it?
Yes. Any public voice route on the marketplace can be tested before purchase. Private routes can be tested by their owner and by buyers with an active purchase.
