No, the 's' option allows the dialplan writer to modify the CID "tag" as 
associated with the outgoing channel. Note that this won't actually 
cause anything to be transmitted over the line. Like the description on 
the review request says, a CID tag is like a channel variable, except 
that it is associated with an identity (e.g. a Caller ID, Connected 
Party, or Redirecting party).

The tag may be set on incoming channels through other means, such as 
with func_callerid, or if the channel driver supports it, in the channel 
configuration file.
