Lonnie,

I removed the “o” option and took a look at the documentation for Asterisk 1.8. 
Looks like there are two options that could be of interest:

f - If x is not provided, force the CallerID sent on a call-forward or 
deflection to the dialplan extension of this Dial() using a dialplan hint. For 
example, some PSTNs do not allow CallerID to be set to anything other than the 
numbers assigned to you. If x is provided, force the CallerID sent to x
x
s - Force the outgoing callerid tag parameter to be set to the string x. Works 
with the f option.
x
As with all things Asterisk, the documentation is severely lacking! Can anyone 
explain how these could/should be used?

I tried both of the following Dial commands:

Dial(${IPHONE_away},25,ktf) and Dial(${IPHONE_away},25,ktf(7778889999)). 
Neither threw any errors; neither worked.

thanks,
   Shamus
