The ID at dial/transfer time is what you are stuck with.

I thought about doing something like that but it would confuse the poor
staff :)

They'd have a call from what appeared to be an external number but it would
turn out to be an internal extension that was calling them (we generally
don't blind transfer).

I need to change the CID on an already-established SIP channel and have no
idea if it's doable..
