Forwarding incoming LINE callerID to Callcentric

I have an AT&T landline going into the Line port on an Obi110 which has a phone number of 847-555-1212.  I have X-Spoof enabled and the number 847-555-1212 entered as the Caller_Name, and so calls originated from the Obi110 using Callcentric (which is SP2 in my setup) show 847-555-1212 as the callerID to anyone receiving the call.

I also forward all calls coming in on the Line port to a cell phone 708-555-1212.  I do this with an inbound call route on the line port of {PH, SP2(17085551212)}. This rings the call on the phone port and on the cell.  Great so far. 

I would like to have the callerID of the incoming call show on the cell phone instead of the spoofed callerID of the actual AT&T line.  This way I will know on the cell who is calling, not just that it is being forwarded from the Obi110.

I tried the following for incoming call routes to do this, with no success so far:

{PH, SP2($1>17085551212)}      according to the Data Admin Guide, $1 represents the incoming ID

{PH, SP2(incoming_caller)>(17085551212)}     a support email from Obihai used the incoming_caller as representation of the incoming callerID.  Not sure if I interpreted that correctly.

{PH, (($1)>(17085551212)):SP2}   putting :SP2 at the end was another suggestion of Obihai support.

So far no success.  With the format {PH, SP2(17085551212), both the phone and the cell ring just as desired, but adding more to this string keeps it from working at all, at least with what I have tried. 

I would appreciate any suggestions from someone who has successfully forwarded incoming callerID to Callcentric.  Callcentric said that that can accept it in the "In-Reply_To" header, wherever that is in the Obi110.

That's how it should work according to the Admin Guide. Several of us have tried and now we know that it does not work   :(

Luckily, we are a persistent bunch on this forum and azrobert came up with a working answer:

It may not work with every SIP provider, but it seems to work with Callcentric, so that's your problem solved!

It's another example of the forum being more informative about many things than the Admin Guide   :)
