Understanding the difference between CLI, No CLI, Manual Display, and Random Display routes.
CLI stands for Caller Line Identification. A CLI route passes your chosen caller ID through to the recipient's phone. When you set a number in SpoofGlobal and make a call through a CLI route, the recipient sees exactly the number you chose. This is the core feature for caller ID spoofing — CLI routes are what make spoofing work reliably.
CLI routes cost more because the VoIP providers that support caller ID passthrough charge higher rates for this capability. However, they are essential when you need the recipient to see a specific number.
A No CLI route does not pass your chosen caller ID to the recipient. The call may show as "Unknown", "Private", "No Caller ID", or display a random number assigned by the carrier. No CLI routes are significantly cheaper than CLI routes, making them ideal for situations where caller ID display does not matter.
Manual Display routes attempt to pass your caller ID but without guaranteeing it will display. Sometimes the number shows, sometimes it does not — it depends on the specific carrier path the call takes. These routes are priced between CLI and No CLI, offering a middle ground between cost and caller ID reliability.
Random Display routes show a randomly generated number to the recipient instead of your chosen caller ID or "Unknown". The random number changes with each call. These are typically the cheapest routes available and are useful when you just need any number to display rather than a specific one.
| Feature | CLI | No CLI | Manual | Random |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your Number Shows | Yes | No | Sometimes | No |
| What Recipient Sees | Your chosen number | Unknown/Private | Your number or Unknown | Random number |
| Price Level | Highest | Low | Medium | Lowest |
| Best For | Spoofing specific numbers | Anonymous calling | Budget spoofing | Cheap calling |
CLI routes use premium VoIP trunks that support caller ID passthrough. These trunks cost providers more to operate, which is reflected in higher per-minute rates.
Yes. You can switch routes anytime through the SpoofGlobal Telegram bot. Different routes are available for different countries and price points.
CLI routes reliably pass your caller ID in the vast majority of cases. In rare situations, certain destination carriers may override or block the displayed number.
The recipient typically sees Unknown, Private, No Caller ID, or occasionally a random number. The exact display depends on the destination carrier.
