Most likely they weren't. In my experience, ordering a PRI with NI-2 
signaling is not enough, you have to specifically ask for Calling Name 
delivery, even though they don't charge for it.

I suspect this is because if you don't ask, then they don't have to do 
the SS7 database dips to get the CNAM for your incoming calls, and that 
saves them $$$.
