By E164 caller ID, I mean a caller ID in E164 format.  i.e. country
code+prefix+number  (for instance, the country code for the US is 1 followed
by a LATA followed by a prefix (rate center) followed by a number... so a full
E164 phone number contains all that:  14155551212  

Country code for the UK is 44 followed by a prefix code followed by a
number... so, for instance, a number in Milford Haven, UK might be
441646555112 (which would be its E164 phone number). 

Question is, most of the caller IDs I see with examples online are Bellcore
style caller IDs (only useful in the US and a couple of other places) which
are 10-digit. 

My question is, will the standard set(CALLERID(num)=BLAH) work with
non-Bellcore caller ID strings? Is it expected to be able to also handle E164
numbers (which can be up to 15 digits) as well, or is there another method for
that?
