[Asterisk-Users] Little confused about Caller ID

[C F]

When calling to the PSTN (outside VOIP or *) then you will not be able
to supply the name of callerID even if you have a PRI. The only thing
you can provide is the number and the receiving switch of the call is
the one responsibble for attaching a name to the phone number thru
SS7. If you have a SS7 switch then you could in theory attach the name
(I have never tried it, but that's what I was told).
Hope this helps.
