[Asterisk-Users] Display Name

[Jerry Jones]

As a rule you are wasting your time trying to send calling name to  
your telco. Unless your carrier is also the terminating providor for  
everyone you call it will accomplish nothing.

Caller ID that the called party receives is by way of a lookup by the  
terminating providor in a national database based upon the calling  
number. The calling number is the only thing you can actually pass.  
If the caller ID name is wrong, then you need to update the CNAM file  
for your number. Whatever providor supplies the number can assist in  
placing the correct name on it.
