Also in the US.

My Vonage account does NOT send the "1"  My T-mobile at home account DOES 
send the "1" Neither REQUIRE the "1" to be dialed!!

IMO the "+" is not correct when sending CLID. It is correctly used in 
print when referencing international numbers.

Why would you expect anyone to follow a standard?
