Set a Diversion: header to specify the CallerID number.
Example:
Diversion: <sip:+12125551212 at 172.17.5.11>;reason=rcf
The ;reason=whatever is optional, I don't know of any carriers which use it.

Question for the experts:
We have a scenario where a SIP user originates a call to the PSTN (not
9-1-1) with a SIP From: header containing one DID and P-Asserted-Identity showing a different DID.
We expect the carrier to use the P-Asserted-Identity for billing and recordkeeping but send the SIP From: out as the CLID to be displayed to the called party.
Typically this is done in a call center type scenario where an agent wants the CLID to display the main number of the agent pool and not the specific DID of the agent. Another scenario is a customer PRI-based PBX that hairpins inbound calls back out to a traveling user and wants to preserve the original caller's information.
One of our terminating carriers uses the P-Asserted-Identity as the displayed CLID and not the SIP From:. I feel that this is not correct.
Opinions?
Numbers have been changed to protect the guilty...
