Not quite. I think i have to give an example to make it clear:

Out telco assigned us a number range, say from 0231 - 555 0000 to 0231 -
555 9999. These are number wich are routed to our asterisk server.
This will make 0231 - 555 0000 my "base number", sorry if i have chosen
a name with more an one definition.

On the other hand, i can set whatever number i like for outgoing calls.
Usually i have something like this in my dialplan:
Set(CALLERID(number)=XXXXXXXXX), where XXXX is the number i want to be
shown.

If i dial a national number (landline or mobile) the number i have set
is shown properly.

If i dial a number in England the called sees my "base number", but in
correct international format, +49 231 555 0000.

My Provider i called Dokom, it is a small local telco. I think they only
have lines in Dortmund, and beyond that they route through German
Telecom lines, but i am not sure of this.

The Number I call is a mobile number from Manx Telecom (Isle of Man).

I have made the calls with pri intense debug set on, but from my side a
can see no difference between calls where the number is set successfully
and calls the my number does not show up.

I have spoken with Dokom too, and they tell me that they don't mess up
with my calls, only passing through, and that they are not sure if the
number i have set, will be able to show up at the other side.

I have also tried to set number within my assigned number range and
outside of my number range.

Here the same: To national calls i can set whatever i like and to
international calls only my base number is shown.
