It worked right away for me in one computer. Then on my second it took several unistalls and restarts to get it working.

I got a DID line from Voxeo that had been previously used to obtain free spoofed calls. I logged all the numbers calling the line and called them back to ask them why they used the service. Sure some of the kids use the service for pranks but others use it to evade their parents. They spoof their friends landline when they are really at their boyfriends house. Another thing that some people do is spoof an in network number and then call their friends so they can talk for hours at a time and their friends won't be charged for minutes.
