You can't  :(

Even if you do
Set(CALLERID(num)=whatever)
in the dialplan for the second leg of the call, your telecommunications 
provider will notice that you are trying to use a caller ID number that you 
are not entitled to, and silently *remove* the ident.

Otherwise, anybody could pretend to be anybody else; and chaos would surely 
ensue.


However, depending on the telco, they *might* allow you to ident as some other 
number *iff* you can prove that it belongs to you.
