Caller ID Showing Which Calling Card Used???

Recently I've noticed a change when someone calls me using a Bell Canada Calling Card. Previously when they would call, from whatever number they were calling from and using a Bell Canada Calling Card the number would show on my Caller ID of my cell phone (on the Bell Canada Mobility network) as "Private Number."

Today I received a call, from someone I know was using a calling card as they definitely are not at the location the number is physically terminated at, but my caller id showed it as originating as from there even though I know it originated from South Carolina. Clearly Bell is now putting the "billing number" for the calling card through as Caller ID.

Are any other phone companies doing this?
