You are trying to set the CallerID, not setting the DID.  The DID is in 
${EXTEN}.

If you want to set the CallerID for calls to the PSTN you must be using 
ISDN.  If you are using VoIP, then the VoIP server must be using ISDN 
(pretty much all of them are).

Your carrier must permit you to set that info.  Not all of them do.
