More than 1 ways to skin the rabbit:
a. Set CALLERID(num) to localized number for and store the original cid 
in the CDR(userfield)
b. Set CALLERID(name) to localized number. This method depends on the 
phone. Some phone will display only the name part if it's supplied (what 
you want), others will show both. The CDR(src) is preserved but 
CDR(clid) will look like "5551234" <1505551234>
