Could you point it in any RFC? I've never read something like that.
IMHO "Display Name" is just a "cool" and descriptive name, but not the
real username.

If my first name is "Bob" and my number is 1234 I expect that the
called will see "1234" as calling number (and he can be my display
name "Bob" as extra information).
If my first name is numeric (I'm a machine) "111002"  and my SIP
username is 1234 I also expect that the called will see "1234" as
calling number and not "111002".

Also, I've tested sending INVITE to some softswitches with a From or
PAI like this:
  "999000111" <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
And when those softswitches convert the call to PSTN the CallerID
number is 999000222, never 999000111.

Also, every phones I've tryed render the URI username as calling
number and some of them (usually sofphones) render both Display Name
and URI username, but in any case, when the user looks for a number in
him missed calls or incoming calls, and presses in one of them to make
a new call, the called number is *always* the username part and never
the DisplayName.

Anyway it's extrange for me since it's not the first time I hear that
Display Name should be rendered as CallerID when all I read is the
opposite. Could you please extend more your point?


Thanks for all and best regards.
