[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID problem

[James Taylor]

Sounds like your provider may be using different carriers for terminiation  
and some may not support CID as you send it.
If it is handed off to a traditional IXC through your PSTN (LEC)  
connection then they will see whatever number is associated with the  
billing number (BAN).
Your provider may be doing LCR and some routes may not work with CID.
