Daniel--

OK, I went and looked thru the source. The code doing this to your CID
number is ast_shrink_phone_number().  It gets called on your cid number
and dutifully does this:

"remove '(', ' ', ')', non-trailing '.' and '-' not in square brackets.

Because the . is not at the end of the pattern, it gets wiped by this
routine.
There seems little to do about it, as is. The call to
ast_shrink_phone_number()
is not optional or conditional. Apparently, asterisk is expecting plain
phone numbers
with stuff like (715) 693-4855, or 715.693.4855, and will remove the cruft
for you. That
it's preserving dashes inside of brackets (and brackets, too), means it is
expecting
to see patterns here.

So, I'd file a bug, and say that a dot in brackets should survive, too,
along with a
dash in brackets. ...that to limit dots in the cid pattern to the last
character is
not good behavior.

Because of this, I wonder if your CID should begin with an "_".... you'll
have to test
it out if they go and add the few lines to that routine they would need to,
to allow
dots in the pattern string. My memory is failing me and I don't have enough
time
to go playing in the source code.
