[asterisk-users] PRI Outbound CallerID Question

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

Yes, it is possible.  But, your Telco has to support this.  Your Telco has
to give you the ability to set your caller ID.  Some providers (and it
sounds like yours may be one of them) only allow you to use numbers which
you are authorized to use (such as your DIDs).
