    If only spam callers were unable to spoof phone numbers that’d be great.

      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.
