Kiddo, in the sentence just below what you quoted there I mentioned that I 
wanted to be able to provide caller-id to people /of my choice/.

So yes, I'm rather aware that some people will block anonymous callers. 
Interesting enough though, I do not know of any company which will do so.

I already mentioned that my country uses #31# for that.  Do you really think 
that your countries codes will be in any way usefull to me ?

Well duh!  If you do not have {something} you cannot use {something}.  And 
water is wet. <whistle>

I think you missed that I already did that, courtesy of my phone / android. 
No telco assist needed.

When are you going to try to answer my question ?
