Outbound CID Spoofing is it possible?

What does "X_SpoofCallerID" do in the OBi settings?

CID number can be spoof-ed on the OBi device but not the CID name, and this is only if the ITSP cooperates (i.e. let it pass).
And very few ITSP's cooperate.

You might want to download the OBi Device Administration Guide (OBiDeviceAdminGuide.pdf). X_SpoofCallerID is documented on page 56. As previously noted, very few ITSP's honor this field in the FROM header and simply ignore it.

I read page 56 and it says X_SpoofCallerID can be used but doesn't provide any example of how to implement it. In fact I have searched the documentation extensively and cannot locate a single example of how to do it.
I do have a provider setup in SP2 which allows spoofing and I would like to have calls which go out on SP2 show my SP1 (Google Voice) cid instead of the SP2's DID.
Can someone please provide an simple example?

From page 58/59 of the latest version of the OBi Device Administration Guide:
Allow outbound Caller ID spoofing. If set to Yes, device will attempt to set the caller-id name and userid field in the FROM header to that of a remote caller in the case of a bridged call (from another trunk, such as PSTN Line or another SP Service). Otherwise, device always its own account information to form the FROM header.
Note that most service provider will not allow originating a call if the FROM header field does not match the account credentials. Enable this option only if you are sure that the service provider allows it. For example, an IP PBX may allow it.
X_SpoofCallerID is simply an enable checkbox. It applies to bridged calls (a call originated by the OBi that is then connected to an incoming call). If X_SpoofCallerID is disabled (default), the OBi will use your CallerID info when originating the outgoing call. If X_SpoofCallerID is enabled (checked), the OBi will attempt to use the CallerID info from the incoming call that it intends to bridge with.
