Can you elaborate please? is this a feature from our carrier? or 
something that will be built into asterisk? sounds like a useful fix :)

A "simpler" solution (perhaps) would be a "forwarding" context like this

[forward-with-announce]
Exten => s,1,dial(DAHDI/g1/w${ARG1},30,mKkTt)
Exten => s,n,playback(followme/call-from)
Exten => s,n,SayDigits(${ARG2})

Exten => 393,1,Set(ARG1=2055551212)
Exten => 393,2,Set(ARG2=${EXTEN})
Exten => 393,3,Goto(forward-with-announce,s,1)

Dependent on carrier and other considerations, you can also "spoof" the
caller-id.  That's a different google-search.
