There are phone farms that exclusively use burner phones and do not need to spoof caller ID.

Let's recall the claim here:

>>> I think in general the ability to spoof numbers should be banned / controlled. Someone from India should not be allowed to call me with a caller ID from Mayo Clinic.

>> This has absolutely nothing to do with burner phones and the proposed changes won't do anything to change that.

> That is not correct. There a phone farms operating purely on burner phones

This is total nonsense. A phone farm that doesn't spoof caller ID isn't presenting false caller ID.

Wait, you’re right, I think I misread your comment somehow or got it mixed with another comment.

Sorry about that.
