This can vary on a PRI from provider to provider.  I'm currently switching
vendors because the current one will only take specific CID info.  The new
vendor will allow any CID info (on or off their network) to be presented.

The old vendor keeps promising me that they have an update for their system
which will allow them to take any -- but their time ran out.
