| callback_num_pres_ind | Defines the call-back number presentation and screening. If this parameter is present and there are multiple instances of the callback_num parameter then this parameter must occur an equal number of instances and the order of occurrence determines the particular callback_num_pres_ind which corresponds to a particular callback_num. | 4.8.4.17 |
