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.

We're handling this as one-off items that need someone from F-I to set
up - for example both Dennis Gilmore and I have IAX trunks set up.
