I have my cellphone number blocked from caller id.  Can someone or a
company still find out my cell number even if I have blocked it?

Calls to any toll-free number will show your number, as will any Emergency
Service Provider.  There is a possibility that the number may also show up
on the billing of any cell phone you call whose provider is providing
incoming call deatil (although those are few and far between).

If you call a toll-free number the company will probably capture your
ANI (since they're paying for the call.)

Your number is not blocked in calls to "800" numbers and emergency
service numbers "911" etc.

Your number may also show on any business # that you call that is
using a PRI ISDN connection.  There are also some voicemail services
that will reveal your phone number, for example www.k7.net allows you
to set up a 206 Seatle Washington voicemail and it will give you the
telephone number of ANYONE who calls (as long as the call was direct
dialed, regardless of if the caller ID is blocked)

That seems to be counter to the info on their website FAQ's: "In the
subject line of your email is the phone number of the caller (provided
their ID is not turned off)."
