| change outgoing number rapidly
I need to change my outgoing number rapidly and for free, preferably through a website. Calling customer service i think takes too much time. I dont know how many minutes I need but I think somewhere from 1000-1400. I need to call someone and apear from a different number each time on their caller ID unit, they dont take CID blocked calls. Running around payphones in NYC in the freezing cold isnt a option.
I need a TA. Also do I need to reconfigure the TA everytime i change my number or not? Also do TAs spit out CID or is the VOIP carrier network? I dont know which TA i should get and i dont know which VOIP carrier i should use. I feel vonage will do everything I need to but im wondering if there is something cheaper per month than vonage. Can someone help me? |

| Try VOICEBUSTERS.com or Ad Calls. They are free and it diplays a fake number. May I ask why you are trying to hide your numbers. -- Go ViaTalk! They have Free E911, CallerID w/ Name ETC....  |

| reply to patcat88 note- if you are trying to do unsolicited telemarketing or are stalking somebody, VoIP does not posess a solution to your problem. Your only way to solve this will be to set your telephone on fire, give your business equipment to charity and kill yourself. Thanks.
That said, you might look into a wholesale VoIP provider and an Asterisk server or something like it. With some scripting, it could randomly generate a 10 digit number as caller ID, which the voip provider would pass on as your caller id, and call. |

| Hey ptrowski! Let's not be so quick to condemn the OP. Dude could be trying to talk to his kid, and the mom could be blocking the attempts based on CID...or something else that's not harassment. not our job to decide right and wrong, and he has chosen not to explain himself ... which isn't our business anyway, and the forum is anonymous so the reason he gives might not be true, either... |

So he needs to talk to his kid...for anywhere from two days to two weeks? You really do see the best in people, it's admirable in a way.
I don't know what he's got in mind, but it's highly specific and certainly suspicious. I have a much harder time conjuring up a legitimate use for his request than you do. He could help his own cause by being a little more forthcoming about his intentions. |

| reply to patcat88 perhaps you guys should think about this..
You want a way to send out a large amount of calls, ideally from different numbers (appearance on CID is acceptable) to one destination... a radio-station call-in game. It is Christmas. Here in NH, we have several area stations doing these phone-in games.. ($100 shopping spree, etc..)
So...
It is like this:
you build a script to send outgoing something like 50 calls, all with unique callerid. all ring one specific number.
all calls signalled as 'busy' will begin calling the same number, either until an answer or until the user terminates the script.
Yea, there are ways to accomplish this.. But, I think it might fall under the 'fraud' category for most of the phone-in game rules. Anyone else think this?
I guess I should disclaim: I don't know the OP of this thread.. I am merely presenting a 'concept', and am not suggesting anyone try it.
BTW: has anyone tried it? |

| reply to BLL I'll agree with everything you said ... but the OP could have come up with a wonderful story, bringing a tear to our eyes, motivating us to develop a strategy for doing what he wants, and the story could have been entirely false.
He merely asked how to spoof his caller ID, for which there could be a legitimate purpose (kid could be with evil ex-wife for two weeks during the holidays) ... I wouldn't entertain the thought if he were asking, for example, how to compound anthrax, for which there would be no legitimate purpose ...
I don't know how to spoof caller ID, but I do run into circumstances frequently when it would be helpful that the person I call doesn't know it's me until they answer... |

| reply to patcat88 The rules don't seem to say you 'cant' do it....
Just for the sake of it, I just checked a boston radio station's "rules" to the game, and it does indeed say you may call-in as many times as you wish...
Sooo.. Does this mean you could make VOIP your hero and use multiple call-paths, knowing you dont pay for busy signals?
Those of you in the listening area of Boston, MA, I am talking about the Oldies 103.3 $1,000.00 gift card give-away.. Rules are here: »www.oldies1033.com/more/oldies_16.shtml |

| Its not illegal, Im not sending forging a CID signal using my own modem/phreaking. Im not asking to have full access to SS7 to put whatever CID info I want. Groups already forge CID (Mayor bloomberg's (nyc) election capaign used 000-000-0000 to make solicitiating calls). All I want is to make a call, after its done, take 10-15 seconds on a website, get a new number, make another call, take 10-15 seconds to switch it again. I have no problem with it being a real exchange and area code owned by the VOIP provider. I am not scripting. End of story. This isnt for money or business purposes and im not getting any money. I dont want to spark a morality issue. All i want to know is what VOIP carrier allow you to switch your number online in real time without having to email someone or talk to Samir Chiplunkar (made up name) who doesnt know english, 2 continents away, after being on hold 40 minutes, after taking 10 minutes to navigate a IVR. |

| www.spooftel.com is what you want. note if you designate a "from" caller ID number that is already in use by someone else, that name will show up in the caller ID display of who you're calling. if you designate a "from" number that is not really a number (non-existant area code, bad NPA-NXX combination), the name displayed could be "unavailable." |

If it's not illegal, why are you not willing to provide ANY kind of explanation? You have plenty of examples of what you're NOT doing...how about opening up a little bit to those you are asking to help?
IMO, what you are doing is at the very least deceptive and dishonest...intentionally misrepresenting your identity to the recipients of your calls. Illegal? Immoral? Perhaps. But certainly dishonest. Surely you can understand why people are suspicious. As Rocky points out, your motivations could be valid and innocuous...but we'll never know unless you tell us. |
