Do what you want, but when my mother-in-law signed up for caller-ID, they
did mention to her, whether on the phone during her sign-up or via written
information she received, that there *are* ways to fool it and that it
isn't 100% reliable.  Seems as though you might be wasting your time (and
money) "litigating".  Is it worth it over a $50 box that says "John Doe" is
calling (even if it is 1/2 the time--nobody forced you to subscribe).
