asterisk users - Sep 2006 - How to send correct Caller ID on PRI

Hi,

While dialing calls form my client's office, where I was working, the caller
ID goes as the extension number of the phone from where caller is calling. I
tried to playaround with config files, also changed info in their
Grandstream GX-2000 phones, but to no avail. What am I missing here and how
to take control of the outgoing caller IDs?

Thanks

Somewhere in your outbound routing section of the dialplan, you need to have 
this line:
,n,Set(CALLERID(number)=whateverthenumbershouldbe)

Personally, I like to set a variable in sip.conf, perhaps PSTNCALLERID, that I 
use in the above line.  That way I can set PSTN caller ID numbers on a per 
extension basis.

I figured out how to send the caller ID, it is working. But now I am trying
to send the Company Name along with caller ID, and that is not working. What
could be the reason for that. I am using SerCallerID. Is there something
else I should use to send the alphabets?

Most phone companies will not allow for you to set callerid name, only 
number.
