KNI - Jack Adams wrote: I'm guessing that this firm uses in-band 202 signalling to "overwrite" any normal CLID messageYour guess would be wrong. As the article said, "Caller ID spoofinghas for years been within the reach of businesses with certain typesof digital connections to their local phone company, and more recentlyhas become the plaything of hackers and pranksters exploitingpermissive voice over IP systems."Using in-band 202 signalling would only spoof an ancient, poorlydesigned, caller-id box, and would not even be noticed on a cellphoneor by caller-id on call-waiting. And even for landline phones, allCID boxes made in recent memory only accept one caller-id, the onesent immediately after the first ring, when the caller does not yethave an in-band connection, and cannot be spoofed once the in-bandconnection is set up when the called party goes off-hook.In band spoofing also wouldn't change what appears on my phone billwhich lists the caller ID and name of all incoming callers.This firm is clearly doing it the way the article stated. Now thatMa Bell is no longer in complete control of everything, this hasbecome very easy to do. If you'd like a demonstration, contact me.nospamtd is not my email username, but a good guess would probablybe right. And I'll tell you what number you're calling from, evenif you blocked caller ID (but not if you're coming from somewherethat sends no calling number information at all)./john
