I presume you're running a PRI or BRI line from Virgin? If you have an
analogue line it's unlikely you have the ability to set your CLID.

If you have an ISDN variant, then you should be able to set it, but
generally (depending on how the switch is set-up) only to numbers
associated with that line. It also depends on the number of digits that
the switch expects i.e. it may just be 1926xxxxxx, or it may well be
just the xxxxxx part.
