You can't just remove this - it's a legitimate use case.

For example if you go to another country with your mobile phone, your call will be international, but the caller id would not match the source.

But there are plenty of ways for my phone company to verify that it was my phone. (they might verify a clone of my sim, but that is a different problem that they already have to handle)
