Looking at their website, Circlenet will get probably cranky if you spoof your CID on outgoing calls. Plus, there's a monthly charge.
I'm curious what part of their website led you to that conclusion? There is nothing I see to suggest that.
Yes, they allow spoofing. No, there is no monthly charge other than outbound minutes used. And their outbound rates are a quarter of what VoIP.ms charges. I have accounts at both ITSPs.
In my view, it makes little sense to use a full featured ITSP like VoIP.ms for outbound only. VoIP.ms makes sense for incoming since you could use all their PBX features. For outbound you just need reliable and cheap. Circlenet fits that bill better than any other ITSP I'm aware of.

Well... there was this line on their "Residential" page: "No callerID spoofing, all calls on this plan must have a CircleNet LLC callerID. If your using us for outbound calling with another provider again the per-minute service is right for you."
Yeah, their rates are awesome. I couldn't actually find where to sign up for the per-minute service, though. All I found was the $8/month thing.
Am I on the right web page? www.circlenet.biz

Those plans include a DID so I've never looked at them that closely but I can see how you might think they wouldn't allow spoofing. But it's definitely allowed on outbound pay-per-minute plan. But you can't change it at will like you can with VoIP.ms. You have to send them an email and request it.
I assume you saw the Call Termination page? Just go to the BYOD Signup page and sign up. They give you free credit to try it out. It says $1.00 but I received $2.00 that I've been working on a long time. For most of my calls I get charged .0021 cents per minute or less. At that rate your dollar goes a long ways.
Since it's outbound only you don't have to register and use up a SP slot if you don't want to. I don't. I just configure a Voice Gateway and point it at my VoIP.ms SIP config.

CircleNet's new website allows you to change the callerid by yourself. Just click on the 3 horizontal lines at the top right of the dashboard. Click on Configuration then SIP Devices. You can delete, add or modify a device configuration. You can have multiple definitions with different callerid's.

Thanks!
Sheesh, they could really use a better webpage. That's totally non-obvious.
As for configuring and using a Voice Gateway on a single, unlinked device, the Device Admin Guide is pretty skeletal on the subject, to the point that it's hard to understand what they're doing in the single example. Searching here on the subject "Voice gateway" gets you 37 pages of results, mostly not on what I need, which is confusing. An external Google search was a lot better, and combined with what you just wrote, I think I'm starting to understand.
So... If you're still reading this, can I just check my understanding?
The tricky field is "AccessNumber," right? Everything else is pretty obvious. So, for this purpose, you're actually using the name of the proxy server of the provider, and randomly including an SPnumber of any of your voice services that use SIP, and it doesn't matter which one?
So, for the sake of argument, let's say I'm setting up VG1. If I have configured SIP providers on SP2, SP3, and SP4 (which I do), I could put SP4(someserver.somecompany.com) in that field. Then, to use it in a phone call, I just need to include "vg1" in an outbound call route? And it doesn't matter at all which SP I choose at all?
After the mind-boggling confusion of the Admin Guide, that seems almost too simple.
