Sounds like a pure case of FRAUD to me. If we have to resort to doing acts of fraud to deceive someone, are we any better than they are?

Sounds to me, like this is the basis of many many lays, – Thou shalt not do fraud.

How would one know for a wild example that they didn’t pick the number of a mortuary and then call someone who just had a family member die? Of course, we can easily imagine the caller using 202 456-1414.
What about spoofing as 911? Where does this sort of intent take us?

In the end, all you are going to have is just a glorified pager that you can call OUT on. But the sad part is, no one will answer on the other end, and you’ll be trapped in Voice Mail Jail forever!!! What’s the point of having a phone, if all you do is hide behind the voice mail or answering machine? It’s supposed to facilitate communications, NOT block them. People should just exchange their numbers with friends and family, and have the software set to drop the call if it comes from a number NOT on the list, so you could safely IGNORE the callers you don’t know. All you have to worry about then is someone in your family or friends circle giving out your list. Voila! Technology has once again come up with a way to isolate and insulate yourself from the world at large.

I used to look at caller ID as one of two ways:

Number unknown: Don’t answer
Number returned: Think about answering

Guess I have to let VM pick up *all* calls now. That just breaks my heart.

Or if you know enough about how the system works, you could always use a specially formatted XML script from a cell phone. =) I’ve always been baffled how trusting people are of the Caller ID system. Like anything else, it has its faults.

Google it and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
