You need to verify if the {CALLERID(num)} can actually match what your
{CALLERID(name)} looks like.  More than likely, the (num) has some sort of
brackets around it, such as < >, or perhaps it's starting with a +.  You
can try to use the FILTER function on it, to strip away any additional
characters that you don't want to see or try to match on.

exten => s,1,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(name)}" =
"${FILTER(0123456789,${CALLERID(num)}}"]?:3)


That is, if you're just looking for numeric callerid.  If you also want to
account for extra characters, you can add those to the first part of the
filter.
