Re: Spoofed ID
There's no difference between local, VOIP or international calls. In all cases the telco that supports your landline or mobile number knows exactly who you are, regardless of any spoofing you may try or whether you withhold your number. They have to know precisely who is making the call so they can bill the caller for every call.
Its a little more complex for international calls: the chain of telcos who carry your call to its destination know the exact route it took because they all collect a portion of the call's cost.
As for every service - follow the money. The telcos don't know why a call is being made, wanted or unwanted, legal or not, but they always know who to charge for making it.
