=head2 Setting Caller ID 

You can set your caller ID in the admin center. Login to your account,
then choose "options" under the TELEPHONY section, then choose "caller
id" link above. After that specify your caller ID which will be used
for your outgoing calls and for your SMS sub-accounts. 

At Diamondcard, we pass caller ID, but depending upon the local telco
that terminates the call in a specific country, it may or may not
display on the destination phone properly. 

For USA, it should display as set in the Diamondcard admin center. 

=head3 CallerId for IAX2 devices 

Most IAX2 clients allow you to configure a caller ID number. That's the
field that needs to be set for proper caller ID. 

=head3 CallerId for SIP devices 

SIP devices usually don't have a special field for caller ID. With
Diamondcard, you can specify a phone number to be presented as the
caller ID number in the "Name" field. 

This is a field where you usually specify a name. If you add a phone
number after the name it'll be used as the caller ID. This field may be
named differently on different SIP devices. "Display Name" in
L<Lynksys|LinkSys>, "Your name" in L<Twinkle|TwinklePhone>
softphone, "First Name" + "Surname" in L<Ekiga|EkigaPhone>. 

Here is an example: "John Smith 13031234567". 13031234567 will be used
as the caller ID number.
