I have the following set on my own extension, in 1000.xml:

<variable name="effective_caller_id_name" value="Andrew Thompson"/>
<variable name="effective_caller_id_number" value="1000"/>
<variable name="outbound_caller_id_name" value="MyCompany"/>
<variable name="outbound_caller_id_number" value="9109991234"/>

When I dial extensions internally, the effective_* name/number show up.

When I dial outbound via my SIP provider, I set the following before the 
bridge so that it passes externally valid info:

<action application="set" 
data="effective_caller_id_number=${outbound_caller_id_number}"/>
<action application="set" 
data="effective_caller_id_name=${outbound_caller_id_name}"/>


In my setup, if I don't explicitly overide the effective_* with 
outbound_*, I actually see 1000 as my callerid when I call my cell from 
my extension, so if you're not getting at least that much, something 
else might be wrong. (I have used vitelity, and they do pass callerid 
properly most of the time.)
