Hello Alex, thank you. So this is what I have:

if (is_method("INVITE")) {                 xlog("L_DBG", "LOG: INVITE in PSTN route\n");                 $var(new_uri) = "sip:"+ "8888888888" +"@home.otv.net:5060";                 uac_replace_from("","$var(new_uri)");                 xlog("L_DBG", "LOG: After update fU is $fU");

if (uri=~"sip:1[2-9][0-9]+@.*") {                         if (!is_user_in("From", "ld")) {                                 xlog("LOG: PSTN call but user don't have permissions\n");                                 sl_send_reply("403", "No permission for long dist calls");                                 exit;                         }                 }         }

My questions are:

1. When I do uac_replace_from("8888888888",""); I do not see any change in the output, my from user still remains the same and is not updated to 8888888888, why is that?

2. When I run the scrip as shown in my snippet above the from user changes on the receiving phones caller id to 8888888888 but how come in my xlog I still see the old $fU and not the updated one?

Thanks for the help.

uac_replace_from() in the uac module can do that.
