You need to modify incomingmsn= and not msn= for this to work as
expected. Also be aware that often these two settings require different
values for the same meaning, e.g. you might have to add the area prefix
for the msn= setting (40 for Hamburg, 89 for München etc). If however
your Asterisk is behind a PBX then your incoming MSN might only have to be 910, 911 and 912.

The above applies also to your SetCIDNum statement, it must match a
valid (!) MSN.

Cheers, Philipp
