There were some laws passed recently which makes "faking" caller-id illegal, although I'm not sure exactly what the details are (eg, I'm fairly sure sending your cell phone number from a desk phone is fine as you own both of them).
In the US - it's not quite law yet. The bill in question is H.R. 1258: Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010. It was passed by the house in April 2010 - but has not yet been passed by the Senate. A similar bill was passed by the Senate previously - so it's only a matter of time. Specifically - the bill will make it illegal "to cause any caller ID service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information." Changing your caller-id for legitimate non-nefarious purposes will still be allowed. Feargal
