Name Display is an additional service on Rogers which you have to subscribe to, and your handset needs to support it as well.
Doesn't work for me (my handset does not support it nor do I pay for the additional service), but when calling from our PRI to a friend's Rogers Blackberry Curve, they do see the name sent from our PRI, even when I change it from call to call.
