COLP (Connected Line Identification Presentation) can also be offered by the ISDN provider. If you've applied for COLP, you get an extended dialing protocol. You will receive feedback from your telecommunication company who picked up your outgoing call. Normally, you will get the same number as you dialed beforehand; however, with call diversion this could also be a different number. In Germany, it must be applied for, and costs extra. More information than COLP can be obtained with the help of a reverse-connected ISDN card.
Connected Line identification Presentation Additional service of digital protocols authorizing the presentation of the number of the connected user (the one having answered the call) to the calling party.
Connected Line Presentation. A service which provides the caller with the identity of the person he has connected to. For example you may dial 01234 567890 but that number may be diverted to another. COLP will provide you with the identity of the person you have actually connected to. The identity is typically the telephone number of the connected party. This is a paid-for service from the network provider and compatible equipment is required to make use of it.
