  • It should be protected against. But, you know if a business changes to dynamic pricing and their next quarterly numbers shows that the vast majority of people didn’t swallow it, and revenue is hugely down, they would undo it in a second.

    The fact is, though. They know enough people WILL let them them get away with it. From their point of view, why would they turn down free money?

    The thing is, there are legit reasons to want to spoof numbers. My use case is that if I’m not reachable via sip I send the call over the normal phone network and set cid to the calling number.

    I guess a middle ground would be that you could spoof numbers to phone numbers you’ve registered and verified with your provider.

    To be honest though, the scammers and spammers will always find a way round it and spoof anyway.
