ANI is "sticky" for in-wats calls but not for any other calls. Other
than in-wats ANI is an operator trunk treatment (including wireline
E911).
The CLID blocking rules do not apply to in-wats. I don't believe the
CLID SS7 message is even sent on an in-wats call. Lots of half-smart
users dial *67 before an in-wats number thinking they are going to
block their number from reaching that predatory call center they are
calling. Surprise!
I think the FCC tried to explain that back in the late 1990s when they
still gave a darn about making the Caller ID system working. Maybe
now that we have a Democrat (and democratic) president again the FCC
will once again grow to care about consumer issues.
