I think that the use case for this is that I'm away, but I need to call $CONTRIBUTOR and I want them to know that it's me instead of some random cell phone number, so we should be able to login and have it come from our extension.
Would caller id with the person's cell phone number solve this problem? If so, that might be easier to handle.
Yes/no. Yes, in that the system should pass through your cell phone number to the callee. No, in that a significant number of people wouldn't want their personal cell phone number being passed on to the callee. Also, you might not recognize most people's cell phone numbers, plus there may be many cases where caller id information isn't sent or is incorrect etc.
Would it be possible for me to tell asterisk, I come from this number and this number, please give me a proper "Mike McGrath" id from those numbers?
Although that probably doesn't work with businesses since everyone in the westford office might look like the same person.
