You call from a payphone.

Alternately you MIGHT be able to use some of the cheap VoIP calling
cards. Many of these provide bizarre ANI to the remote end.

But you cannot block ANI because it is used for billing, and since the
remote party is being billed for the call, they need evidence that the
billing is correct.
