I believe I have made a little headway. I have two outgoing DID
contexts and have changed the GotoIf statement to the extension name.
User One acts as expected and User two now displays unknown when
calling so I believe it is trying to to goto 20 but it's not quite
making it. Any tips? Thanks

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(Outgoing=${CUT(CHANNEL,/,2)})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Set(Outgoing=${CUT(Outgoing,-,1)})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,GotoIf($["${Outgoing}" = "201"]?20:10)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,10,Set(CALLERID(all)="User One" <3012323434>)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(h,1)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,20,Set(CALLERID(num)="User Two" <3013232322>)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound2)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(h,1)
