I set caller ID to a unique identifier before sending to a transfer partner or overflow call center. This makes it much easier to match CDRs and get stats on the outcome of calls once they leave our center. It is a very valuable and legitimate use. Am I committing a crime? nah.

We use and trust ANI, not caller ID although I think I read you can manipulate ANI if you have an SS7 link. I have yet to play with SS7.

Thanks,

Steve,

This is exactly what I am talking about. That is a very useful application of caller id manipulation. Why should you lose that useful feature because a few misguided people sometimes use it for nefarious purposes?
