You can use this trick to listen to anyone's voicemail (by identifying the calling number as the recipient's number) if they do not have a password. Anyone. Talk about security hole.
You can do this from any SMS gateway, as there is no real verification. However most gateways do not allow their users to spoof the sender because predictably the carriers do not like it.
"The cost of the text message is 10 SEK plus possible operator fees"
10 SEK = $1.5 USD

BTW, this is talking about SMS, not CID spoofing, so your comment wasn't exactly on topic.
Any decent SMS gateway should let you send messages from who the hell you want. Add far as analogies go, it works pretty much the range as email, and would take the same fundamental redesign to fix.
