Hi and thanks for the reply,
Userid and caller ids are different. Thats making the problem bigger.
If it was like 55512345/12345 i can crop the number in dialingplans and doenst 
have any headaches.

Making such static definitions can work with small number of users but, it is 
planned to have about 5000 users which makes impossible to make such 
definitions.
Maybe i should match username and callerid together.
mmm that might work :)
