First you need to discuss with your telco whether you can do this on
your lines.  They may not allow it at all, but if they don't, they
should at least set it to something other than "Unknown" for you.  You
need to talk to them.

Then, if they do allow you to set it, and it still doesn't work for you,
please post your code to the list so we can see where you may have gone
wrong.
