OBi allows CID spoofing only if the SP allows it. Can others confirm Service Providers which allow for CID spoofing on the OBi.
A list of SP allowing for this feature will help us to workaround the OBi's lack of ability to pass the original CID on a bridged call. At the moment the OBi passes the CID of the number making the bridged call. If we call from our cell phones into the OBi some would like the ability to control the number displayed of the CID when dialing out.
It's unlikely any real ITSP would allow you to spoof CID.
The main application of this option is when using the OBi as a gateway for an IPPBX (like Asterisk). IP PBX expects the gateway (OBi) to replace the caller ID with the original caller's.
Well, I can confirm that with voipms I can control the CID via their portal configuration page, and I can control the CNAME via the account name on the device registering with the voipms account. I didn't realize that this ability was unusual for a SP to offer.
It's my understanding that CallWithUs lets the ATA set the CallerID as well as being able to set it from their control panel. I don't have any funds in my CallWithUs account at the moment, so I can't test it.

and so do we.
Sipgate allows you to input a number to display as your caller id
Because of the Obi caller id (or lack of), I just set up sipgate, google voice, google voice callback, on my daughters Android.
Here is a forum thread that discusses some US providers that allow passing CID. Thread is old, but I think still relevant:
