Unfortunately, when it comes to setting caller ID, you are basically at the 
mercy of the telco -- they can choose whether to allow it or not.  Obviously 
your telco aren't allowing you to set it, so you get the default ident for 
your SIM whatever you try to set.

Best suggestion:  Try asking nicely; but good luck with finding someone at any 
mobile telecommunications company who even understands what you are talking 
about.
