Inbound external call, number to name lookup (MGCP)

[RStevenson]

Hi there.
I've been searching around and haven't found a solution for this as of yet and everything I've read tells me its not possible, but surely there is some solution to this.

Basically trying to get inbound calling names displaying on our IP Phones.

I've been looking around for potential third party apps that could perform a calling ID - Calling name look up in a directory or text file, to then be able to display the calling name on the phone.

I've seen various solutions for use with H323 gateways, i.e tcl scripts etc, but nothing that can be used with MGCP gateways, any ideas?

Nevermind, found a helpful app in the ip phone services SDK

Busman, thats infact the tool I am using and tested with version 7, 8 and 8.5
Although there seems to be a delay with displaying the caller info, it roughly rings 2 or 3 times before the caller info is displayed.
Anyone else that has tested this tool get the same?
