All "anyone" has to do is buy a T-1 line, provision it as an ISDN PRI
line, and buy a small phone switch to put on the end of it. The phone
company will believe whatever CallerID you program your switch to send
out. So for few thousand dollars and a few hundred dollars per month for
the PRI line, you can send whatever Caller ID you want. If it's really
worth it to you...

Or if you don't mind the "real" caller id also showing up, you can
send the caller ID tones after the called party answers. Some caller
ID boxes are not smart enough to ignore caller ID sent AFTER the called
party answers.
