A while back you were able to call someone without having to think about whether or not if the person on the other phone would pick up.

If you didn’t pick up then you would be left to ponder who just called you. You just had to sit and wait for them to either call back or never know who called at all. This was a wall that would be over come with patience and technology.

Soon, the caller id would be born.

Caller Identification is done by one provider talking to another. The details from whoever is calling is then matched with a huge phone book which then tells your caller id who is calling.

A great deal of people these days do not pick up their phone when they do not recognize the phone number.

This is almost always due to the fact that person on the other end is glancing at the phone caller identification and making a quick decision on whether or not to answer to your call.

But due to VOIP being able to hide your caller identification it then become a very big player in the faking of your caller identification.

This software gives you more of a opportunity to get someone to answer the phone by making it look like someone else is calling. So you can be anyone you want to be, even the Johny Bravo.

This advantage has it’s bad and good points and should not be misused.
