your callerid is declaration from above is still valid here. Try
reordering your channel definitions so you can put the PSTN above the
local lines.

it may be possible still to have the call answered here before the
actual PSTN callerid since you have defined it above and the call
doesn't wait for a callerid from the PSTN. This is just a guess though.
