I'm doing the following:

[netacc-9895]
type=friend
secret=...
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
mailbox=9895 at netacc
callerid=5854199895
context=rochnyint
accountcode=netacc
dtmfmode=rfc2833

e.g. no username= or fromuser=; it gets the authentication username from 
the [].  The caller id does get passed to other SIP phones, as well as the 
PSTN.  I don't set the name there; rather, I set it in the db and then 
LookupCIDName to get it out of there if required.

YMMV.  :-)  -rt
