In the US, you can't.

Its the responsibility of the terminating central office to do a 
database lookup to obtain the callerid name.

Hi,

Have you try to set hidecallerid=yes in zapata.conf?

If you mean to have a "private" caller ID, I would think that the
phone company would need to update you record in the database.
