Seems you yanks have a bit of catching up to do with the UK - we have the ability to hide our number when calling someone else, so where the article says it's necessary for doctors, domestic abuse victims, etc to hide their real phone number, in the UK they can just hide their number.
Of course, it's up to the person receiving the call whether they want to answer a call from an unknown number (and many don't to avoid telesales calls) but at least there's no need for spoofing and it leaves the decision to answer in the receiver's hands.
