anyway I just read a draft of Asterisk Handbook2 and here what it sais 
about the username option:

username: username Asterisk tries to connect when for some reason it 
differs from the one used when client registered.

What I would like to have is on my SIP phones( Snom 100 )  that when a 
call is recieved it look like that it is from person at foo, instead of 
number at foo. Without the need to add extra extensions that point to SIP 
channels in extensions.conf.

is there a way to do it?
