We had a caller ID problem where callerID worked within our PRI
provider's network, and all others *except* for one.  CallerID
worked everywhere except for with this single carrier to which we
weren't directly connected.

It turns out that the "Calling Party Number Identifier" was set
arriving as "Spare", where the carrier in question indicated that it
should have been "National".  I'm not sure this is your problem,
but it gives you another avenue to try.

We got things working by setting the numbering type with something
along the lines of:
   translation-rule 11
    Rule 1 ^1 1 ANY national
    Rule 2 ^2 2 ANY national
    Rule 3 ^3 3 ANY national
    Rule 4 ^4 4 ANY national
    Rule 5 ^5 5 ANY national
    Rule 6 ^6 6 ANY national
    Rule 7 ^7 7 ANY national
    Rule 8 ^8 8 ANY national
    Rule 9 ^9 9 ANY national
   !
   dial-peer voice 10 pots
    translate-outgoing calling 11



I was a little disturbed by the thought that my carrier would accept
the calls without problem, but a completely unrelated network would
fail to deliver callerID because of something I'd (mis?)configured.

I'm curious what other things I can break within a random distant
carrier's network...
