First thing to check: Are you sure that your mobile telco actually let you set your own ident on outgoing calls? Just because Asterisk requests a particular caller ID, does not mean that the equipment downstream is necessarily going to honour that request (or even have any way to do so; Asterisk won't protest if you Set(CALLERID(num)=...) and then Dial() out through an analogue line). With many telcos, you can only ident as a number you are entitled to use. If you request a number that isn't yours, the call will be made anonymously, in accordance with (someone's idea of) the Principle of Least Surprise. And with a very few legitimate exceptions, this is entirely Right and Proper. Subscribers have a reasonable expectation for the number shown on the phone to be the actual number from which they are being called. If it was any different, we would have unwanted callers spoofing caller ID right, left and centre. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
