[asterisk-users] getting at ${CALLERIDNUM}

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

You didn't say what VERISON OF ASTERISK you are using, so I will assume 
1.2.  When you watch the console, what is the output on the CLI of the 
SayDigits lines?  The only reason I can see for CALLERIDNUM to be empty 
is if the information was not received with the call.

I'll bet you got this example from the Wiki, didn't you?
