I tried {(<+1:Mary>xxxxxxxxxx):ph} to see if it would pass the "Mary" with the caller ID (haven't tried numbers or special characters) and it just came through as Private.
See the first bullet in the list at the bottom of page 197 of the Admin Guide https://www.obitalk.com/info/documents/admin_guide/OBiDeviceAdminGuide.pdf
M has a special meaning in digit maps. Try putting the Mary bit between single quotes - 'Mary'. I'm not saying this will work as I have not tried it myself.
Thanks for the suggestion, however, putting the name between single or double quotes just allows the caller's ID to be seen without any indication of Mary.

My phone will not display a callerid with an alpha prefix. I tried a few special characters and the only one that displayed correctly was an asterisk. This is how my phone works and might not be the same for your phone. Here is my suggestion:
Daughter #1 prefix with an *
{(<+1:*>xxxxxxxxxx):ph}
Daughter #2 just strip the "+1"
{(<+1:>xxxxxxxxxx):ph}
OR
You can leave one Daughter's phone unmodified, so she will get an 11 digit callerid. Strip the "+1" for the 2nd daughter and she will get a 10 digit callerid.

Appreciate the additional suggestions, azrobert, however, I'm dealing with teenagers for the most part--hence, those last options, which may work for us, may not be that attractive for them. For now, I'll follow your original suggestion, which may not be ideal, is workable.
azrobert:
I started thinking about your problem and I found a solution. You can have your daughters' names displayed as CallerID-Name and also display the inbound CallerID-Number. This requires using SP3 and SP4, so it won't work if you're using these as GV. Assuming GV is defined on SP1 and SP2.
Let me know if you're interested and what, if anything is defined on SP3-4.
LTN1:
Unfortunately for us, SPs 3 and 4 are being used by their GV numbers. I would be interested in finding out about the work-around one day. Thank you.
