Seriously though, I call forward a Company phone to my cell and I have
always hated answering without saying the Company name. When we did
play with Asterisk in the office, we could call forward the phone and
you could display whatever name or number you wanted. This allows
multiple phone lines to come to your cell with identification of the origin.
This also reduces the cost of hardware for small operations as you don't
need any hardware for income or outgoing circuits. I just call forward
my Telus line to VOIP which in turn changes the DID and forwards it to
my cell. No copper connection on the computer end so works ideally as
an appliance.
I also use link2voip, they present the user account as the caller ID
during outgoing SIP calls.
They have the concept of master account + user accounts, you can have any
amount of user accounts bonded to the same master account (all pull funds
from the same place).
So you can register a user account (like '4032661234' for example :-) to
match the DID (or other number) that you want presented to your callees.
