Indeed, the CNID is making it to the receiving parties central office via a SS7 trunk along with a privacy flag if the calling party has chosen to block. But, the CNID message with or without a privacy flag does not cross from the trunk frame through the switch to the receiving partie's local loop. The privacy flag results in the receiving central office generating a "private call" message to be sent out yhr receiving parties local loop. The analogy is similar with wireless, the receiving party receives no information all the number contained in the CNID message. The wireless carrier, just like a wireline carrier, was required to honor the privacy flag so nothing other than "private call" or a similar message is sent to the wireless set. So, there is nothing of an identifying nature that the wireless called party can send on.
