I guess that Dokom bought or rented or whatever a certain range of numbers from 'Big German Telco GmbH'. As long as you remain within the Dokom network you (dokom) can retain the callerid. As soon as you route your call out to another network, the peer will see that the callerid doesn't match the account and reset it. If your call gets routed through various networks I guess any network could decide to reset the callerid. Here in UK any DDIs are not automatically added to the list of allowed out callerids unless you specifically ask, so they get reset to the base number as well. Now, that's only a *guess*. And the bad news is, *if* I'm right, there is little you can do except change provider, route or persuade dokom to speak to their upstream peers. You might have more luck asking on a telecom specific list, rather than here.
