It depends on what mechanisms your provider supports and/or whether they have enabled it on your account.

The typical way to set it is to change the display name on the From header as demonstrated below where the desired caller ID is 3333333. If that doesn't work you can try fu instead of fd although that will often result in a call attempt failing as it affect authentication. You'll most likely need to find out what mechanism your provider supports for setting caller ID before you can get anywhere.

Code: Select all

sys.Dial("12345@someprovider[fd=333333]")
