That's kind of odd. Log into your accout at teliax.com and there is
a page where 'you' specify the callerid string for both sip and iax.
Its their web page, not mine, but that works for me.

Their web page is sort of odd as you have to click on SIP or IAX before
entering the callerid string, but the page doesn't hint that you're
supposed to do that.
