I spoof my Caller*ID all the time, and it's for legitimate purposes.  Some 
telcos allow you to set *any* Caller*ID, others only allow you to set it to a 
DID that they deliver to you over your PRI, and others always force the 
outgoing Caller*ID to your BTN.  There isn't any great fear here.

I'm not sure, but at least on Bell Canada PRIs, it is not possible to receive 
accurate ANI on anything other than incoming tollfree calls.  Mobile carriers 
especially send odd ANI for numbers terminating to regular DIDs.
