[Asterisk-Users] VoIP hackers gut Caller ID

[Chad Whitten]

this is true, but Bellsouth (our local RBOC) only allows numbers in our DID 
range to pass.  I can set the outbound caller id to anything, but if its not 
in our DID range, then the lead number of the DID range is sent out.  Are 
other telco's not doing this?
