Vonage UK calls forwarded by their carrier pass the original cli through.
However, it took a call from me to their tech support before this was the
case on my line. Don't know if the change filtered through to all other
users. The CLI was corrupted though (extra 0) and did not show as diverted
call on a mobile. Despite further calls, I never managed to get them to
resolve that. My mobile did link numbers presented in this way to a
contact. My mobile presented as +2012345678 instead of 02012345678 or
+442012345678.

I left Vonage quite a few months ago so things may have changed since then
(but I doubt it)

I am not aware that Vonage offer an IP PBX service, although they may offer
a "virtual" PBX service
