There will probably need to be a substantial complaint for an instance to be applied to this law. I'm sure the people who you call and "deceive" into thinking you're at work aren't going to report you to the FCC. Everyone knows that speeding is illegal, but that doesn't keep some of us from doing it. This is mostly pointed at the infamous extended car warranties that grandma in Alabama offers.

There is an "intent to deceive" clause that still bothers me. In most cases it probably doesn't apply, but "deceive" can be interpreted pretty loosely. An example, although not an important one, would be a prank call on a buddy. No fraud, no harm, but with intent to deceive. I don't know how else this could end up being applied, but I always consider the unintended consequences of new laws.
Is it my intent to deceive when I call a customer from my cell phone through my Asterisk server so it shows the office caller ID? I simply don't want them calling my cell, but it could be said I'm trying to deceive them into thinking I'm in the office. Possibly a stretch, yet it's a nagging little thing, because so many laws have been poorly applied in the past.
