[Asterisk-Users] General Caller ID question

[John Fraizer]

The CID NAME is able to be sent to other SIP/IAX devices.  That is how those 
are used.

Don't get me wrong... I think that Asterisk sends the complete CLID (name + 
number) on PRI and T1 interfaces to the telco.  It is just that the telco 
ignores the "name" portion and looks it up in its own database.
