[asterisk-users] Followme() and variables

[Jared Mauch]

We have a variable set for each user/peer/whatnot that signals what the
outbound caller-id should be sent as with our carrier.

When someone dials a followme extension, this does not appear to be carried
over for when the calls reach an outside caller, and we see the outbound
caller-id being set as 'asterisk' vs the number desired.

Has anyone else seen this, or found a way to solve/workaround this?

Using asterisk 1.8.3.2.

What I see is the channel not inheriting the variable from the dialing
user -> followme -> originate

so the (active) channel when someone answers looks like:

Dumping Info For Channel: Local/91xxxyyyzzzz at company-38cd;2:
================================================================================
