lol

FYI on another note, there are some SIP (think voip software based phones) which may let you do CID spoofing on the outbound.

I am looking trying to find you a real link for reference.

thanks but its not necessary or that important i really was just curious about a program of some sort if it was available. hell i could just block my number why go out and get a new phone lol =)

With regular calls, you would have to go through a 3rd party and have them change the CID.

I read somewhere a while back that someone achieved this by setting something up on their home phone system where they would call home then have it route to a number of their choice. Their system could change the CID.

For a direct call, only your carrier can change your CID.

I have an Asterisk phone system i set up which allows this. Its tricky but you can configure a skype gateway which would then allow you to choose your outbound ID. Its not a setup for the noob, i takes someone who is familiar with asterisk

^^ yes. provider decides if he wants to you change cid. Most of the voip providers will let you display custom id.

Here's something.. similar, although only useful to text to message reading.

Hi, no, I don't know of any software, but after reading this thread, I can offer you some hope.

A number of years ago, a company I was working for purchased 'a new fangled Windows-based PBX' (the vendor has since gone bankrupt). However, we had the machine connected to an ISDN/PRI service from our local telco. During installation/configuration, we found a parameter which was to be the 'display ANI' (what the called party should see as CallerID). We could set that value to anything.

Now, in my current company, we have some testing software which lets us call our phone system with any CallerID we need (because we need to simulate inbound calls from all over North America).

What this tells me is that with digital service, it is the (digital) dialing device (ie. CPE) which passes it's ID to the telco for forwarding on to the next hop so that it eventually appears at the other end.

So, given some of the nifty tools that I'm learning about (eg. QPST, etc.) I would think that someone with enough time & technical capability should be able to create the application you're looking for.

Hope this helps...
