[asterisk-users] set(CALLERID(name) not working

[Daniel Lynes]

You'll need to lose the double quotation marks in the assignment:

Set(CALLERID(name)="Fred") becomes:
Set(CALLERID(name)=Fred)

If it still doesn't work, then it means that your particular provider 
does not support the ability to be able to set the caller ID name, or 
it's receiving a corrupted copy of it.  One such provider that I'm aware 
of for that issue is Group Telecom.  They receive corrupted caller ID 
name information from asterisk.  So, caller ID num information will 
work, but not caller ID name information.
