[Asterisk-Users] Multiple Line Caller Id With Polycom IP500

Greetings,

I'm wondering if it's possible to display line breaks with caller ID 
display.

I have the Polycom ip500 phone, and what I am trying to accomplish is
instead of the phone saying 'Incoming call from: name/number'
i want it to appear on the phone like this

Incoming Call from:
Menu Context last in
Name
Number

I tried using \n and \\n between the variables (${VAR} \\n ${VAR2}) but 
that did not work, not that I really expected it to.

It is displaying the correct information, just no spacing between the 
output on the display of the phone.

Does anybody know if this is possible with the Polycom phones, or even 
possible at all?

This is how I'm attempting to do it:

[macro-cidrewrite]
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => s,2,SetVar(REWRITECALLS=${MACRO_CONTEXT} ${CALLERIDNAME} 
${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,3,SetCIDName(${REWRITECALLS})
exten => s,4,Dial(${ARG2},15)
exten => s,5,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s,6,Hangup
exten => s,103,Voicemail(b${ARG1})
exten => s,104,Hangup

Thanks,
Matt
