Again, your description is not clear.
If your problem is that calls coming in to asterisk are not displaying 
caller ID on your phones, then you need to make sure that your CO lines 
are configured by the carrier to deliver caller ID. As a test connect a 
basic analog phone that has caller ID capability and call the line. If 
your simple phone displays the CallerID that you are calling from your 
line supports it and Asterisk should pick it up.

If you do not see the caller ID on the analog phone when directly 
connected to the CO line, then call your carrier and ask them to provide 
Caller ID on your lines. I had this exact situation this morning, so yes 
it happens.

If your problem is calling OUT from asterisk and your caller ID not 
getting displayed on the phone you are calling, that is also a function 
of the carrier and something you have NO control over. You should see 
something on the far end even if its "Private" "unavailable" or 
"blocked". Call your carriers and ask them to check their set up for 
your phone lines.
