Generally no; you can set outgoing CID # and the telco will match it up to 
whatever name is registered in their CID database.

others have commented already on this: g729a is available for * for $10/port 
but the license enforcement program is a royal pain in the ass and support 
to help 'fix' licensing issues when they inevitably occur is deplorable.

Try to stick with GSM and iLBC, which has better MOS than g729a anyway.
