I was looking at a way to add the caller id to the outgoing calls (which are made using .call files) using asterisk. Any ideas how to do this ?  Currently I get 'Unknown' number displayed on my phone when asterisk makes an outgoing call.

Add a "CallerID: whatever" line to your callfile.

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out has a reference of the callfile contents.
