[IP] more on VoIP hacks gut Caller I.D.
And CallerID DOES NOT get blocked for any 800 like services. So most of
the advertised use is bogus

[Dave -- for IP if you wish]
even pierce the veil of Caller I.D. blocking to unmask an anonymous
phoner's unlisted number.
This happens with landlines as well -- CallerID blocking does not
provide anonymity (depends who you call). For cell phones, I know
by experience that a CallerID blocked cell phone can, notheless,
advertise the number and the *name* of the caller to a common
user who has the proper, off-the-shelf, equipment.
Cheers,
