Yes, that's correct.

Call it what you will but it's intentional. It only allows me to change
the Flex ANI, not the actual BTN. So it's still traceable. That's
another discussion.

Nope. I can send whatever digits I want. I can send 206-555-1212,
000-000-0000 or 111-111-1111 using SetCallerID(). I just can't seem to
get Asterisk to forward the CallerID info from an inbound call (my home
phone in your example) to another caller (a cell phone in your example)
through Asterisk. I think it's a bug, but I may be forgetting a setting.
It's not only happening on our PRI but on another customer T1 as well.
