Is this possible?
I found some apps that claim to do it, but they are weird.

Is it illegal?

Thanks!

It's not illegal, but it should be.

I setup a VOIP phone number that I used for working from home (making conference calls, etc...) but someone started spoofing the number for telemarketing. I started getting all sorts of angry calls and voicemails saying stop calling me. I eventually had to change the number.
