Is there a difference between ANI and Caller ID?
Many people think that ANI and Caller ID are the same. In terms of their functionality, they are really similar, since they perform the main function – they automatically determine the number.
ANI is a more outdated technology, it works unstable. Caller id is a more modern standard that identifies an incoming call even before connecting.
The ability to identify outgoing calls and change the number significantly expands the options of virtual telephony, and also helps the owners of such phones to make communication more comfortable.
Besides, with Caller ID, the operator receives information about the calling subscriber in an undistorted form, and the ANI is built entirely on analog signals. A Caller ID identifies the number after picking up the phone, and a Caller ID carries out identification before connection.
