So when I pickup the SIP-phone, and I dial 1234, the system dials

wrong short number.
Is there a way to have Asterisk print the name of the customer on the
SIP-phone display, instead of "1234"? Maybe the implementation (see
above) is not optimal, and there is better way to deal with these short
numbers?
In general the answer to his is "No." However, many SIP phones support
a directory on the phone, if you put in a directory entry into the phone
for that customer then that info should show up when you dial. Remember
the GS BT101 CANNOT display anything except numbers on its display.
The same question for incoming calls: it would be great to have Asterisk
print the name of the customer on the display when a call comes in,
instead of his phone number 0987654321.
This is the default if Asterisk gets Caller*ID with the call. On PRI
the Caller*ID NAME is sent a moment after the call setup. A Wait(1) or
Wait(.5) as the first priority in the dialplan for incoming calls may
make Asterisk receive the Caller*ID information.
