We have several customers we need to place outbound calls for (in a single system). May have to place calls for thousands of different caller ids. Customer signs a contract guaranteeing the caller id they provide is owned by them.

I have everything setup for AMI Originate and can place the calls.

However, I’m encountering a problem with the caller id.
The system I’m dialing through requires my contact to be something like 1234@xyz.

If I set the CallerID to something like Jane Doe <1234> it will correctly set my Contact so the system accepts the call and it dials the number.
However, the SIP INVITE message From field is set to “Jane Doe” 1234@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (1234@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
Is there a way to make the SIP INVITE message have different caller id values for the From and the Contact fields?

Additionally, is it possible to set the callerid number value to a PSTN number instead of a SIP number@domain?

I tried setting the callerid(num) via the variable field, but that doesn’t seem to work.
Below is a sample of the AMI Originate message I’m sending.

Action: Originate
ActionID: MyAction
Channel: SIP/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/1234567890
Exten: testing
Context: MyContext
Priority: 1
Timeout: 30000
CallerID: Jane Doe <123>
Variable: CALLERID(num)=2223334444
Async: true


Have a great day!
