You need to use Set(CALLERPRES()=allowed) and Set(CALLERID(num)=.....) before 
the Dial() statement in your extensions.conf.  Note, though, that your telco 
will only allow you to use presentation numbers allocated to you -- if you 
try to set a number that is not yours to use, they will silently change it 
either to "anonymous" or to your "main" number.

If Set(CALLERID(num)=.....) is not behaving the way you think it should, then 
you need to contact your telco and make sure that the presentation number 
really is allocated to you.
