outgoing Caller ID

If I list my vonage number in the phone book will caller ID be displayed in outgoing calls. Or is there a third party device that will enable me to do this?

I think the only way it will show up is if you had the number ported.

How do you plan on getting listed in the phone book.

I am going to call AT&T and see if I can put my name and number in their book

Listing your number will bring on the Telemarketers. I doubt very much that ATT, Verizon or any other will list your number. There is a Yellow Book which I believe is a private company that may list your number but be prepared to pay for it.
