Is Caller Id Spoofing Legal?
Caller Id spoofing is completely legal.
SpoofCard.com‘s parent company went to bat for for you, the consumer.
“In a landmark case that could lead to limits on states’ attempts to regulate activities conducted over electronic networks, including the Internet, the U.S. District Court in Miami ruled that Florida’s recently enacted Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act was unconstitutional and issued a judgment in favor of SpoofCard.com‘s parent company, TelTech Systems Inc, and other plaintiffs. The Act prohibited most callers, and service providers, such as SpoofCard, from using Caller ID spoofing (which is the changing of the Caller ID to show any desired number) when making a call within Florida, or to any person in Florida.”

Um… check out the “Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010,” shit sounds pretty illegal to me.
As of the date of this comment, it hasn’t been passed into law. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1258
However, if it were illegal, to mask your caller id, the government would have to shut down legit business like Google Voice, Vonage and even Magic Jack or any voice over internet business that will mask a caller id to make it look like the subscribers.
The law specifically says that masking caller id is okay (such as with *67 or whatever the combo is) but intentionally falsifying it would be illegal. The bill states it would be illegal “to cause any caller ID service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information, with the intent to defraud or deceive.” So products like Google Voice and Magic Jack should be fine since the info they present is not “misleading,” “inaccurate,” or deceitful. But it would be if I spoofed my caller ID to say I was Edward James Olmos. I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see how the law actually plays out and what they officially define as “misleading” and “deceit.”
