That's what I am already using :)
Somehow, the outbound ID sometimes gets messed up (maybe to do with 2
calls from different users at once) - and the wrong one is sent to the
telco.
So, rather than just using a 'Set(CALLERID(num)=callidnum' just before
Dial - I wanted to check the user directly (to double-check Asterisk if
you like and check my own sanity).
Something alone the lines of 'Set(idvar=${SIPPEER(201:callidnum)})' or
even 'Set(idvar=${SIPPEER(201:variables)})' [to parse that little bit
myself]. That way I can check if there is a genuine problem - or if,
indeed, it is the telco themselves (I don't want to leave a Trend tester
on-site).
Thanks anyway.

Hi,
I know you can access various sip variables via
'Set(sstatus=${SIPPEER(201,status)})' (for example) to get the status
of the sip user - but what about variables?
I have a user that has setvar=123456 in their users.conf (sip.conf if
you prefer). I can read it with a 'sip show peer 201' - but that
gives everything and parsing that isn't really an option.
Anyone know how to access 'variables' (and maybe the contents)
directly?
Thanks

DID for outbound calls
I'm surprised nobody has suggested using the setvar functionality. It's
extremely useful for stuff like this and would allow you to keep all
CallerID information with the actual configuration of the device.
Using a configuration entry for sip.conf in another response as an
example:
[101]
type=friend
username=101
secret=
mailbox=101
callerid=User One 101
host=dynamic
nat=yes
dtmfmode=rfc2833
canreinvite=no
reinvite=no
qualify=yes
setvar=EXTERNAL_CALLERID=User One 3012323434
And then in extensions.conf:
exten = _1NXXNXX,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten = _1NXXNXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)
Of course you could add some sanity checking there to make sure that
${EXTERNAL_CALLERID} contains a value and if not default to your main
DID.

I think you can get an idea on how to access setvar much easier, he also
stated you can have multiple setvar(s)
Ie,
Setvar=VAR_1=Taco
Setvar=VAR_2=Apples
Setvar=VAR_3=Bannanna
