I'm having the same issue as David, and forcing the CallerID with 
SetCallerID() doesn't work - it still only shows the extension of the 
phone I'm calling. (Yes, I've checked the CDR and also done a show 
channel on the phone while ringing - the Caller ID is reset properly

I think I have the solution -- I had the fromuser= variable set, which 
is what Asterisk uses to force CallerID as when it's making calls out 
to the Grandstream.  Is that set, David?  If so, unset it, and you 
should be fine.
