How To Block Anonymous & Origin Based Caller IDs in TCXC

Recently the traffic originated from certain countries terminating in the some destination networks will be priced $10 in some cases. To avoid this issue we sellers may use the below feature to block such traffic originating from certain caller ids (CLID).

Example of caller id surcharge applied:

Please be aware that networks in SAUDI ARABIA, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES ** and **TURKEY MOBILE TURKCELL are charging for calls sent with a blank or manipulated caller id (CLI).

Soon carriers will also take the necessary precautions to ensure that any traffic with “No Caller ID” or “short Caller ID” are priced 10 $, however if a call is sent with what appears to be a valid A number, but is later shown by the terminating network to be a manipulated or modified A number (e.g. over-stamped), they reserve the right to recalculate the billing for those calls. You may buy a phone number and use it when sending out calls if you’re unsure if your caller ids are:

| Destination | Origination |
| Saudi Arabia (+966) | Algeria (+213) |
|

| Tunisia (+216) |

| Destination | Origination |
| United Arab Emirates (+971) | Algeria (+213) |
| | Tunisia (+216) |

| Destination | Origination |
| TURKEY MOBILE TURKCELL | Algeria (+213) |
| | Tunisia (+216) |
| | Morocco(+212) |
| | Inmarsat Satellite(+87) |
