[Asterisk-Users] CallerID

[Waldo Rubinstein]

AFAIK, you can use database lookups to fetch the "internal" caller id  
and "external" caller id depending on the channel that is placing the  
call. Then, simply set the corresponding caller id before placing the  
call. Alternatively, which is what I currently do, since I don't use  
account codes, I set the accountcode parameter in my sip peer  
definitions to the external caller id I want to show, and then I  
force the caller id to the ${CDR(accountcode)} variable before  
placing external calls.

I don't know if there are any other more efficient methods.
