Nope.  It isn't likely.  The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania (or was it Ohio?)
at any rate, struck down the feature because it is in clear violation of
privacy rights.  Since I can't call anyone without them knowing who I am
the court decided that the privacy of the caller was being violated.  As a
result, we won't be seeing the feature in any states that I know of for a
long time to come...
