As a rule you are wasting your time trying to send calling name to your telco. Unless your carrier is also the terminating providor for everyone you call it will accomplish nothing.

Caller ID that the called party receives is by way of a lookup by the terminating providor in a national database based upon the calling number. The calling number is the only thing you can actually pass. If the caller ID name is wrong, then you need to update the CNAM file for your number. Whatever providor supplies the number can assist in placing the correct name on it.

I am running Asterisk 1.2.4.

When making calls to the PSTN, Asterisk sends the calling name as part
of the display information element in the SETUP message.  I need to be
able to send the calling name as part of the facility information
element in the SETUP message. I've seen that work has been done to make
this happen at http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4046.  What I would
like to know is did this fix make it into 1.2.4?  If so, how do I
"Turn-it-on" so that I can use it too?
