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.
