[asterisk-users] caller id problem

[hugolivude]

You cannot set callerid on POTs lines.  You my have more luck if you
place your call via a T1 - but it's still up to your carrier.  Some
VoIP providrs also allow you to set callerid on SIP calls, but you
need to check.  I fear you'll have a hard time finding a carrier that
will allow you to set CALLERID(name), they usually limit it to number
only.
