asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Using Asterisk/callerid with "pay as you go"

If you asked this question on the biz list you would get a lot of people 
that will tell you that they offer services where you can set the caller ID 
to what ever you want. To name a few::
Nufone
Teliax
Voipjet

Yes, thank you. I found one, "callwithus" which has excellant Asterisk
support, IAX/SIP and the support actually answered in minutes! So far good
connects (usig IAX) and good prices. Lets hope it stays that way.

I wonder why more companies can't be like that. This callerID thing is
stupid. If you can go to many companies and can set it then why don't all
companies offer that feature? It certainly would be a customer draw.
