asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Billing Telephone Number (BTN)

I have Asterisk setup with two PRI's one going to my telco and the
other going to a Norstar Meridian system.  The Norstar Meridian is
sending a BTN number that needs to be passed to the Telco.  Is there a
way to pass the BTN as a variable in the dial plan?  Like
CallerID(num)?  What is the variable for BTN if so?


Many Thanks.

Yes, CallerID(num) should work.  I had this issue when setting my 
outbound caller ID to a toll free number and trying to dial a few other 
toll free numbers.  The call could not be completed because they had no 
way to know how to bill the call.  Setting outbound callerID(num) to a 
regular toll number fixed it.
