You shouldn't have to worry about it.... can you provide a sip trace  
so we can see what you are passing.  Maybe your provider doesn't like  
what you're sending.

You have two sets of variables here.

effective_caller_id_name
effective_caller_id_number

These two variables are set on an A-Leg.  Any B-Legs created off the A- 
Leg will inherit these for their caller_id values.

Then you have:

origination_caller_id_name
origination_caller_id_number

These two variables are used to set the callerid on an A-Leg created  
with originate... ie when a leg doesn't even exist yet.

originate  
{origination_caller_id_name 
=bob,origination_caller_id_number=5551212}sofia/gateway/provider.com/ 
9184238080  &park

This line would create the leg to 9184238080 and the the caller_id  
values used from the originate_call_id_* vars ... now if you want any  
legs that are born from this A-Leg you need to set the  
effective_caller_id_* vars also.

Hope this helps explain this better.  I think this info is on the wiki  
but not very apparent in the usage of each of these cases.
