[arm-allstar] Phone Patch Caller ID

[David McGough]

Yes, Caller ID spoofing can be done on most digital phone circuits like
PRI (aka: a fancy T1) and ISDN. VoIP calls can also contain Caller ID
info.  Typically, standard old copper analog POTS lines can't be used for
spoofing.

Now, the key is whether the upstream phone provider allows the caller ID 
info to be transmitted on thru their network---many DO allow it, 
particularly for a fee.

However, be aware that legislation was passed in the USA (the "truth in
calling act") making it illegal to use caller ID spoofing for various 
negative activities.

If anyone could do that they could spoof caller ID very easily. You can set caller ID in Asterisk but it would be meaningless if the provider did not accept it. So it would be no different if you made a call over PSTN from a local phone or via Allstar, it would show the origination caller ID as you phone number and Name ID if setup by your provider.
