[Asterisk-Users] Little confused about Caller ID

[Gabriel Afana]

Hi Everybody,
    Sure this has been covered a million times on wiki, but couldn't find an
exact answer to my question.  I am using * to dial out to peoples phones to
give them alerts of different things.  Problem is that the only Caller ID I
can get working is the telephone number.  I am unable to display a name
along with the number.  Thinking maybe its the phone receiving the call, I
tried my cellphone and my house phone and I can only get the number to
display.  If I leave the number portion out, Caller ID shows "Unavailable".
Is there a simple way to get a Caller name setup?  I've tried examples on
Wiki as well but I couldn't get them to work.

What do I need to add to be able to send a name as well and not just a
number?
