Show different number in twilio call REST API creating calls

Question

Imagine that I'm creating a new call with REST API and set the parameters like this:

$client->account->calls->create("+15017250604", "+14155551212", $urlCallback);

When the phone rings, I don't wanna show the +15017250604 as the caller, but I wanna show a different number. How can I do that?

Check out the FAQ to add a verified outgoing caller id.

To use the REST API, POST your phone number to the Outgoing Caller IDs list resource.

Here's an example to add a new Outgoing Caller ID in PHP:

<?php
// Get the PHP helper library from twilio.com/docs/php/install
require_once('/path/to/twilio-php/Services/Twilio.php'); // Loads the library

// Your Account Sid and Auth Token from twilio.com/user/account
$sid = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$token = "your_auth_token";
$client = new Services_Twilio($sid, $token);

$caller_id = $client->account->outgoing_caller_ids->create("+14158675309", array(
        "FriendlyName" => "My Home Phone Number"
    ));
echo $caller_id->validation_code;
