My "phone line" is made of glass, it does not conduct electricity. Ie, it is fibre glass, and the phone is actually a VoIP contraption. The router has a client for it, and outputs a local socket that is an emulation of the copper line, do that we do not need to replace our phones and we are unaware of the change. So the meaning of CID spoofing changes totally. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
