Call Forward Question

Hello,

I have a location where we have a POTS line going into voice gateway router at a remote site. We have it set up where this external line will ring on about 15 phones in this one department. After hours they forward this line to someone’s cell phone who is on-call. Well someone is calling it at random times during the middle of the night just to give someone a 2am wake up call. I've checked CDR and I see the call but there's no caller ID info.

Question is, if they are setting the call forward feature from the LEC (*72), since it's a POTS line, if someone calls this number while that feature is active would it even hit our voice gateway? The fact that I see the call in CDR tells me they are forwarding one of the Cisco phones where this business line has an appearance. Thanks
 
If it's being forwarded at the LEC it will never hit the gateway. If you're seeing the call hit the gateway & being forwarded back out then the CFA is being set on one of the shared line appearances of that number.

What do the people who are being awakened at 2AM see on their callerID?
