I'm betting they don't specify ANI vs CLID.  I believe ANI is used for
billing and call records, and CLID is for pushing to the receiving end.  In
my experience, I have NOT been able to find a VoIP termination provider
that can either accept the ANI and CLID as different values, or themselves
SET the ANI or CLID as different values.

I wonder if the interlata and intralata rates are based on ANI or CLID.  I
could really save some money terminating calls if I could set the ANI as
within a LATA, but the CLID a completely different value.  I'm sure this is
considered "FRAUD" but given no regulations, hey, use it until it's no
longer allowed.

That's what built free conference calling in Iowa!
