I don't think you can with PBXes. I have had a look just now and it
doesn't have some of the functionality that one would find on the FreePBX
interface. On the latter you can set a 'Force DID' option. That means
that the DID that is called will appear on your phone instead of any CLI
that might be displayed.
If you feel competent with PBXes then it is not a very big step towards
setting up your own PBX on a computer - pref one that is power efficient.
Check out 'PBX in a Flash (PIAF)', Trixbox and Elastix.
I tried to install PIAF recently but it failed. I found Elastix to have
more functionality than Trixbox. If it is not for heavy use you can set
up a PBX in VirtualBox, forward a few ports in your router and you're
good to go.

Yes, it can be done.
What you probebly have got now is two Sipgate trunks with two corrisponding inbound
routes. Both routes point calls to the same extention, your smartphone, right?

All you need to do is edit the two inbound routes. Right at the bottom of the page is "CID name prefix"
put your buisness name or "private" in there and it gets prefixed before the callers number.

I just tried it and it works OK.

Ah , thank you very much :) but i've not got it to work just yet , i
am newbie....so a couple more questions if you dont mind...

basically , i have 1 incoming and 2 trucks......so i guess i need to
have two incoming , each with 1 trunk each ??

but based on the current incoming that has two trunks coming into it.

i went to "CID name prefix " and entered " bus" , i have a 0845
number and a std local number going into that one.

But my main question is :-

so for my private number i can just set up another incoming route ,
add a sip account etc.......but does that mean i need to log onto
pbxes twice , once for each route ? or just the once for both routes
etc?

sip really is great , the force cli part is a real helper :)
