Pick up an account with one of the many SIP/IAX providers that are 
asterisk compatible. They generally allow setting of the outbound CallerID.

I have personally tested that this feature works on connect.voicepulse.com.

I just tested iax.cc/sixtel a moment a go and it worked there as well.

Before you Dial, do a SetCallerID().
