Is there an app like Bluff My Call? You call someone else from your phone but it shows a different number?
 
My friend has an app called Bluff My Call on his T-Mobile G1 phone and it's pretty awesome for crank calls or what not. Basically you use your phone but you can enter another persons number so when you call someone, your number doesn't show up but the number you inserted does. Is there an app like this for the N900?

I wish, as a N900 owner you must compromise many things for the "RAW POWER" ahhh

Well it's not like it CANT be made. I'm sure someone here is good enough to make it. The "Bluff My Call" app is also supported by ads so...idk I guess that's how they're funded which is a pretty good idea.

Careful with that, caller id spoofing is almost certainly going to be illegal in the US very soon. I'm not sure of any similar laws in other countries but you'll probably want to check before starting your cranks calls.

Of course, an application CAN'T change the caller ID.

Bluff My Call simply calls a phone number of the service which calls your final contact, acting as a bridge.
If you go on Bluff My Call website, you'll see that you can use this service with any phone.
(Btw for Android you have a "Bluff My Call Mobile" application that makes it easier to dial a contact, manage options, etc. but it will place a phone call to Bluff My Call service number)

This thing seems to be already illegal in the US:
