[Asterisk-Users] sometimes CIDNUM shows, sometimes CIDNAME??? Why, why, why, why?

[Goran Dj.]

No, no, it's more SIMPLE than that. Try this:

[incoming]
exten => s,1,setcallerid("NAME"<NUMBER>)
exten => s,2,dial(....)


That's all (after couple of hours of investigation).
If call origin from SIP, i see NUMBER on my phone, if call origin from
PSTN, i see NAME on my phone.

Have you considered the possibility that your SIP provider may not be
sending you the caller id name?

CNAM looksup do cost money, and it's probably the exception rather
than the norm to find a VoIP provider that will deliver it.
