[asterisk-app-dev] ARI: How do I get the caller ID to set for calls going out through the SIP trunk?

[Tickling Contest]

Thank you for your quick response! It did help. I was trying
callerId="SomeURLEncodedName" and it did not work.

This worked:

appArgs=externalCall&callerId="2125551212"

and it shows the DID number in the PSTN callee @ incoming call time. Thank
you!

But this did not work:

appArgs=externalCall&callerId="Johnny Boy <2125551212>"

and neither did the body params based method in my original post above.
