Use a pay phone.

The 800- type number owner has to pay for the calls, and gets the calling
number via ANI, either in real time or when the bill comes.

You and I, if we do not have such 800- type services, get the calling
number from CNID, a different and much less reliable service/protocol.

Simplified, but Googling at ANI and CNID should give as much info as one
should need.

You can also buy a phone card from one of the lesser LD companies... Many of
them do not pass the calling number through. You lose the "free" part of the 800
call of course.

I don't think you can. That's one of the things the guy that
owns the 800 number is paying for.

If you don't what the called party to know your number, use the
regular toll number instead of the 800 number.
