The problem is that just about everyone is conditioned to believe what displays on their phone as to the identity of the calling party is true. Most cellular carriers as offer the same options for a fee. Android and iOS smartphones have the ability to block numbers that are suspect or have been identified as fraudulent or scammers most regular landlines do not. Virtually all smartphones, cordless phones and many wireline handsets have built-in caller ID displays. If you blocked your number from appearing on the telephone you are calling, the rules do not apply to toll-free access so if you call an 800 number, for example, regardless whether you block your identity, it will still be displayed because the recipient is actually paying for the call. Outbound caller ID options are associated with non-toll numbers only. Some telephone companies will send only the phone number, and others will also send the subscriber name. While there are options to block outgoing identification in order not to transmit your phone number if privacy is desired the system also fosters the ability to deceive. Caller ID is an automatic feature offered by every telecommunications carrier to identify a calling party to the recipient.
