- Carriers don't use CLID, they use ANI. These two technologies handle
- this issue differently. CLID, designed for residential use, sends the
- number of the calling party. ANI, designed for billing use, sends the
- number of the billed party (i.e., the forwarding party). Other
- technologies that provide caller ID information (e.g., SMDI, ISDN)
- tend to identify the calling party.
