Speaking as a carrier that allows this, we require the P-Asserted-Identity 
field.  This is the example of a header that we insert with our SBC:

P-Asserted-Identity: <sip:2325551212 at 1.2.3.4>

The phone number is the identifying marker to tell our Metaswitch the needed 
information to associate the call to the correct object for billing and call 
restriction purposes.

The IP is the internal IP of our Metaswitch.  It is the internal IP due to our 
MetaSwitch being behind our kamailio SBC.

As a carrier, I have never seen a case where a call (inbound or outbound) was 
rejected because the received caller ID string contained a toll free number. 
For me, as long as it passes the number validation step, we are good.  And a 
toll free number looks like any other NAMPA number.

This works..  unless they're calling a toll free number.  In that case, occasionally, the call fails.  However, should we send a correctly formatted npanxx of a local number, the call completes.
