Pick up an account with one of the many SIP/IAX providers that are
asterisk compatible. They generally allow setting of the outbound CallerID.
I have personally tested that this feature works on connect.voicepulse.com.
I just tested iax.cc/sixtel a moment a go and it worked there as well.
Before you Dial, do a SetCallerID().
