Change Caller ID Number (CNID)

Is it possible to change the outgoing Caller Number ID on a modern CDMA Network, like Sprint, at the firmware or handset provisioning level?

Years ago when we were using the old Nokia 8250 candy-bar phones on a Mom & Pop network (I think it was AMPS based) there was a field in the settings & provisioning section that let us specify the outgoing number to be displayed. Similar to what we can do with the ANI on a PBXs running on a PRI line.

This was really useful because when I called customers they saw my office number and, when they call back, would get one of our assistants instead of being trapped in Voicemail-Hell.

However, looking in the forums I only found a few kiddies wanting software to spoof a number to make quick one-time prank calls. What I'm looking for is something a bit more permanent and elegant than calling into some crazy Spoofing Call Scam Service.

Any suggestions? I'm using a cooked HTC Touch Pro 2 if that helps.

Thanks!
