Do a search on the list, this has been discussed before.  I remember reading that the Caller Name is never even passed down the line, but actually inserted by the called party's LEC based on the number.  That's why you often get different CID names if you're going through different services (i.e. my cell-phone shows up as "Cellphone" on Broadvoice, "<state> Call" on Verizon and "PCS Phone" on SBC -- which is silly, because I will *never* own a Sprint PCS phone).  Try it for yourself.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sending Caller ID info in MD/USA

All,
 
    Having trouble getting answer from Verizon.  I believe Asterisk will let me specify a name and number that is sent to the PSTN (Verizon) of outgoing calls.  For instance, if I have a client, First Bank, and their toll free number is 888-555-1234, I could send that name and number.  Verizon is telling me that they will forward the number I send them, but the name will be my company's name.  I can't get an answer from them if this is a technical problem due to old equipment at their switching office; or if it is just a policy/law issue; or they just plain don't want to.  Does anyone have any answers to this?  Any responses or comments are welcome.
 
Thanks,
 
Bill
