Wrong!

Your carrier can allow you to set your own Caller*ID NUMBER.  Some 
carriers do this by default, some on request, some refuse to do so.

Your carrier lets us set our Caller*ID NUMBER to anything we want.

The Caller*ID NAME you have no control over.  It will show up as 
whatever name is associated with the number.
