[Asterisk-Users] Setting Caller ID after Dial

[Bryce Chidester]

The CallerID that is seen by others on calls originating from your  
PRI is set by your PRI provider; you have no control from Asterisk  
about this as it gets overridden by the provider. You must contact  
your carrier and ask them to set the CallerID for all PRI lines to  
the desired name/number.
