Re: There are 2 parts of caller-ID

"So in your example the answer would be that it simply doesn't need to."

My two numbers would look IDENTICAL to the phone exchange (it never sees the dashes), so it can't tell which is which, and the two could be across the country. That's the main reason there are still some telephone number rules: to prevent such a scenario.
