On Telus this facility is called Station Level Billing and allows you to
transmit your prefered originating number as part of the PRI NI-2 signalling for
outbound calls. The CLID name is then presented based on the directory name for
that particular number, rather than the default pilot number and name. Handy for
sites with departmental DID numbers who want to maintain their individual
identities however it's not cheap.

Telus's service also causes your corporate long distance phone bill to come
seperated out and grouped based on the originating number - hence Station Level
Billing.

  Sometimes you get the feature without knowing it.

  I had be using a group of two PRIs for more than a year on a Nortel
PBX.  After I started testing with Asterisk through a AS5300 gateway,
I quickly noticed that I could present any calling number.
