I have occasionally received international calls with caller ID on a cell
phone, and once or twice I've seen a country code as a caller ID on a
landline phone.
So clearly it is possible. It seems thought that most US landline caller
ID boxes assume that all numbers are in xxx-xxx-xxxx format.

someone calling via Vonage recently? My caller ID (on those calls)
shows the number, but identifies the caller as 'Vonage User'. PAT]
