Fake Caller Id

I got a call the other day and as usual I looked at my caller id first -- got to make sure that it isn't a telemarketer or ex-girlfriend first! LOL! Anyway, this is what I see:

000-000-0000

Weird. How did they do that? Is it legal? Well, I got looking into it and found a good way:



If you have ever wanted to change the caller id information on a particular telephone call that you make, this is exactly what you need to do just that.

I got looking into this and it seemed interesting so I found some excellent uses for this. And it is legal too.

First, especially since it is just after April Fool's Day is prank phone calls! Imagine being back in the days before caller id and being able to be a bit more anonymous. All the fun times that you can have calling people for laughs and no one will know who is calling them if you spoof your caller id.

Not only that, but the Spoofcard service also has a voice changer option! LOL! Now that could turn into some crazy calls if you use your imagination. I can think of literally hundreds of things that I could have fun with this voice changer and a phone.

I guess another good way to use this would be to get someone that is not answering your calls to actually pick them up. Dang call screeners! Maybe someopne you need to talk to but they don't like talking to you -- I guess you can get them to at least answer but it doesn't mean that they won't just hang up when they realize that it is you! LOL!
