First, go to your web interface, change the timezone, reset your ATA,
see if it changes your CID. If so, change it back and see if you're
good to go.

If that doesn't help, email Vonage, wait 4 months, receive a response
that says "Yes CID is supported", then reply back and explain the
issue again and they'll fix it.
