[asterisk-users] ODP: Re: Changing labels on Phones

There are some other methods to display content on the phone screen without editing local configs. Check http://www.ciptec.co.uk/ - commercial site but shows the way.

If you just want to display user info on the phone, why not use the idle url feature:

In conjunction with a 15 or 30 second meta refresh tag, this seems like it would be able to pull up-to-date info for the phone display periodically.
