Some businesses operate with a single outside facing telephone number. So when you call 1-800-myc-mpny you reach the business at that number. But if that company has 10 people who are making outside calls they need 10 outside lines. By allowing companies to spoof CID all 10 callers can make calls that appear to have originated from 1-800-myc-mpny even though the lines they're using all tie to different external phone numbers.
