A little bird whispers to me: Don't expect this
particular trick to be un-addressed by various
legislatures forever. That window is closing,
and the bottom of the window looks very much like
a guillotine blade - don't have your head in the
wrong place.
In any case, as has been discussed on -users
before (which is where this thread should go, and
thus where I'm relegating it) that spoofing
caller ID, your postal mailing address, your
name, your voice, or anything else is equally
illegal and prosecutable if used for fraudulent
purposes.

From an infrastructure perspective, you're right.
From an ASP perspective, you're wrong.
http://www.spooftel.com/ - "Spoof your own Caller ID for $0.10/min"
If you're using GMail a number of other
providers come advertised alongside this thread.
:-)
For that very reason, the only way one could
truly verify someone's location via CID would be
to do a callback to the CID supplied.

Chuck,
Actually, Caller ID cannot - so far as I know -
"easily be spoofed". While you can usually
disable sending "caller ID" by the *6x method,
be aware that if you call an 800 number, that
800 number * will* get the calling party number.
It's needed for billing the 800# recipient.
With PRI, if you have it correctly provisioned
by the carrier and they support it, etc., you
can legitimately spoof a caller name and number,
but I doubt a nurse or janitor would maintain a
PRI line to do this. J
