A few more tips to get this correctly done:
* register your landlines as descrobed above, but make sure you use the
format 0044 xxxx, not in the format +44 xxx
The latter will work for verification, but not for CLI..
* set your SIP device or IP phone to use your phone number, and also use the
same format (0044 xxxx) here.
If you have dones this correctly, it will work perfectly, even for non-UK
numbers.
