In the context through which outgoing calls are placed, you need a step which 
sets the caller ID number.  For instance, part of our dialplan maps external 
phone numbers with the local part 707060 to 707072 to internal extensions 301 
to 312 respectively.  Our E1 provider also requires us to include the STD 
code, minus the leading zero, for the town we are in -- and will silently 
anonymise the call if we try to send a caller ID that does not belong to us.

So for outgoing calls, we have something like

[ts-outgoing]
exten => _0., 1, Set(localno=7070$[${CALLERID(num)}-240])
exten => _0., 2, Set(CALLERID(num)=${STD}${localno})
