		<description>Hi wes,

A couple ways you could handle this... either send it to the script with just the first 10 digits (with asterisk stripping the last 4), or with the perl script stripping it. We can help you deploy this... just &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.teamforrest.com/contact.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;contact us&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for more help.</description>

		<description>how would this script work if i recieve a prefixed numbers from my telco

example 6045277777
is prefixed as inbound from telco to our asterisk ast 21036045277777

how would you modify the script to ignor the first 4 digits</description>

		<description>Ed,

Google is good for primarily residential numbers. If we take an example of a Chicago area McDonald&#039;s:

http://www.google.com/search?rls=en&amp;q=phonebook:3128670455
(fail)

http://www.411.com/search/Reverse_Phone?phone=3128670455
(comes back with McDonald&#039;s and more)

http://whitepages.anywho.com/results.php?qnpa=312&amp;qnpanxx=312867&amp;qnxx=867&amp;qp=8670455&amp;qstation=0455
(fail)

Lately, 411 is my favorite. If it fails on a identity it will at least tell you if it&#039;s a land line, cellular, etc and the city / state.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know about anybody else but this does not work period.  At all.

The script is just fine.  I had zero problems running the script.

It&#039;s all the websites.  I ran those directly against some test numbers:

http://www.google.com/search?rls=en&amp;q=phonebook:$thenumber&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8

That never works.  Tried it with 20+ phone numbers and did not work.  Tried with a 1, + etc, different formats.

http://phonenumbers.addresses.com/results.php?ReportType=33&amp;qfilter[pro]=on&amp;qi=0&amp;qk=10&amp;qnpa=$npa&amp;qp=$qp

Does not work either.  Tested with the same 20+ phone numbers and it did not work.

http://whocalled.us/do?action=getScore&amp;name=$WhoCalled_name&amp;pass=$WhoCalled_pass&amp;phoneNumber=$thenumber

This only seems to work for telemarketers and debt collectors.  I can see it being useful as a phone spam blocker, but not a CNAM lookup.

http://www.whitepages.com/search/ReversePhone?full_phone=$thenumber

1/20 success rate and it was a 10 year old business.

http://yellowpages.addresses.com/yellow-pages/phone:$thenumber/listings.html

2/20 and it was both old businesses again.

http://whitepages.anywho.com/results.php?&amp;qnpa=$npa&amp;qp=$telephone

Nothing.  Again.


I guess my big question here is if this even worth the processing cycles?  It seems as if there is no way to get even a 10% hit rate on the free lookup services available.</description>

		<description>Even using the updated code, lookups are still failing for anywho and google, with a fallback of www411 working only about 75% of the time (giving city/state rather than name).

Any new updates?  I can use the URLs from the script in a browser and get a good lookup, but apparently the script won&#039;t parse the info and return it to asterisk.</description>
