I've name changed for this.. If this isn't the right thread please direct me elsewhere.
Can someone tell me if this is possible and if so how you do it (other than by an operator patching you through):
Person A (abroad) calls Person B (in the UK).
Person's B Caller ID shows Person A's number as a UK land line [Company X].
I completely get that if A calls company X and asks them topatch through/ connect to Person be it would show as Company X.
But assuming this wasn't done (call was on a weekend when Company X is closed), is this possible in some way? Can you dial into a mail box or something? Can you yourself route a call via Company X's line from your line abroad? How do you do this - so that the caller ID shows up as Company X and not your own foreign number?
Or is the bottom line that Person A while claiming to be abroad was in fact in the UK?
