[asterisk-users] How to send correct Caller ID on PRI

[Ejay Hire]

I concur.  We spent a lot of time trying to get USLEC to take caller id NAME
information from us to no avail.  They recieved and dropped it.

Assuming that you are in the US (don't know about elsewhere), the Calling
Party Name is obtained by a database lookup performed by the PSTN switch
terminating the call. Calling Party Name is the name assigned to your line
or location by the phone company. You can't "send" it. You can only receive
it, if the phone company has it to transmit in the FACILITY message.
 
Display Name is something totally different. The Display Name is the name
assigned to a station behind a PBX. Enterprises will send it between
corporate locations if the sites are linked by private line or a network
service like AT&T's Software Defined Network (SDN). It is generally not
exchanged across the PSTN.
