As they say "it depends." Normally in forwarding/diverting situations
the original number will show in the call display of the end party and
not the number that it's being forwarded/diverted from. If the number
it's being forwarded/diverted is a toll-free number it may "destroy"
forwarding or it may keep it intact. When I use my "Kall8"
http://www.kall8.com number to forward to another number the
original number is presented to the end party's caller ID display. I
have an option with my toll-free number that I can have either the
"real" number presented or the toll-free number presented to the end
party's display.
