[Asterisk-Users] CallerID issue

Hello.

I'm having trouble with callerid on outgoing calls.  The recipient of 
the call only sees "unknown" rather than the number I'm specifying.

If I set callerid info when calling an internal extension then I see the 
callerid name and number when I call that extension.
I did that thusly:

        exten => 101,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=1112223333)
        exten => 101,2,Set(CALLERID(name)=fiznucked)
        exten => 101,3,Dial(SIP/officeata1,20,tr)

that works.  But the callerid doesn't work when I try to call out 
through teliax.

        exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=1112223333)
        exten => 
_1XXXXXXXXXX,2,DIAL(IAX2//username/@teliax/${EXTEN},30,tr)   

I've been calling my cell phone from one of the SIP phones, and I do 
receive the call on the cell, but all I see for the caller id is 
"unknown".  Teliax tells me that they are not setting any callerid 
information so I should be free to set it to whatever I want.  They also 
suggested that the problem might be with the cell phone provider.

This is with asterisk 1.2 Beta1.  Is there a known callerid issue with 
the beta?  Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Thanks in advance,
Adam Moffett
