This is correct. That's the name that the underlying API puts in for 
that information when originating out.

This is expected in 13. There is no support for dialing a channel and 
interacting with it to that level before it has been answered. The 
closest you could do is originate to a Local channel that does an 
Answer() and then does the Dial(). Support for what you want was added 
in 14[1] though.
