Try:
Code:
sed -i "/('outbound-callerid/a\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$ext->add(\$context, \$exten, '', new ext_SipAddHeader('P-Preferred-Identity', '<sip:\${CALLERID(nummer)}@carrier.com>'))\;" infile

or
Code:
sed -i "/('outbound-callerid/s/$/\n                        \$ext->add(\$context, \$exten, '', new ext_SipAddHeader('P-Preferred-Identity', '<sip:\${CALLERID(nummer)}@carrier.com>'))\;/" infile

You could try this:
Code:
sed -i "/outbound-callerid/r"<(echo "                        \$ext->add(\$context, \$exten, '', new ext_SipAddHeader('P-Preferred-Identity', '<sip:\${CALLERID(nummer)}@carrier.com>'))\;/") infile

If you are using ksh93/bash

or get the linenumber first:
Code:
sed -i "13s/$/\n                        \$ext->add(\$context, \$exten, '', new ext_SipAddHeader('P-Preferred-Identity', '<sip:\${CALLERID(nummer)}@carrier.com>'))\;/" infile

so, for example:
Code:
sed -i "$(grep -nm1 outbound-callerid infile | sed 's/:.*//')s/$/\n                        \$ext->add(\$context, \$exten, '', new ext_SipAddHeader('P-Preferred-Identity', '<sip:\${CALLERID(nummer)}@carrier.com>'))\;/" infile

or..since you have a blank line, we could use the range upto which modification is needed.
Code:
sed -i '1,/^$/s/outbound-callerid.*/&\n           $ext->add($context, $exten, '', new ext_SipAddHeader('P-Preferred-Identity', '<sip:${CALLERID(nummer)}@carrier.com>'));/' inputfile

The First works perfect.
I use Debian 5.0 bash.

I am happy now. Thanks for your help.
