The problem is caller ID spoofing. When you start getting billed for calls you "made" (but didn't) you won't like this "fix".

- jasonjayr 3y agoThe callerid would be moot for this scheme. The real trace is the AMI information that the telco has for billing and peering, but is not part of the Caller ID data. The Telco knows exactly which line that call originated from, and knows who is responsible for paying for that connection.
- plagiarist 3y agoThat's kinda what I want to happen: if a telco allows my number to call their customers, their customers claim payments from them, that telco attempts to claim payments from my telco, but, oops, there's no paper trail where I allowed my number to be used that way. Every telco would suddenly have ways to accurately trace a call back to the source and would not allow numbers to be spoofed without verification that the owner is allowing it.
