Summary:                    The caller id is ignored when transferring the call
Description: 
I need to replace the caller id before I do the transfer, so the new call
has a new caller id, bit my efforts are completely ignored. Additionally, I
try to use the function sip_addheader to add a "From:" header and that gets
ignored as well. When the call gets tranfered the "From" header has the
exact value that it had when it arrived to the Asterisk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
This is not nearly as easy to implement as you have made it seem. The
Transfer application sends a channel-specific message to phone which
prompts the phone to send another call elsewhere. If the call is directed
to somewhere outside of Asterisk, then the phone has absolutely no way of
knowing what its caller id should be for placing the new call. If the call
is directed back into Asterisk, then using the Transfer app seems like an
odd choice, considering Dial will handle the job much better, more direct
way.
