asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Caller ID, Called ID and Forwarded ID

Last month I saw something funny which I can't reproduce anymore:

A 0500 number in .au is a service phone number and are forwarded
on exchange level to a real phonenumber. So if A calls B it gets
forwarded to C. Very simple.

Now the funny thing, on the phone of C, I saw both A and B as the
"caller id". I've been asking around and trying to get it again
with a private 0500 number, but haven't been able to recreate the
behaviour. It could be a special Q.931 option, it could be a random
fluke of the system, it just could be standard practise.

Has anybody ever seen this behaviour or know more of it?

I have seen stuff like this over the last 2-3 months.

I have my .au mobile forwarded to my .pg mobile when I travel to .pg, lately
I have seen the actuall caller number (about 50% of the time) on my .pg cell
phone display.

It used to be that I would see my .au cell phone number as the number that
was calling.

As I say, this happens about 50% of the time, and has only happened in the
last 2 to 3 months.

Seems like a Telstra thing with exchange level call forwarding?
