I was calling a supplier and was shocked to find that they already
knew my phone number, which is unlisted, immediately when they picked
up, No mention was made this was happening when i called in.

You need a serious course in Caller ID.

Even if you have disabled outgoing caller id, that is ignored when you
call a toll-free number. The idea is that if the supplier is going to
pay for the call, then he has a right to know who is calling.

Try using a non-toll-free number if this is a concern to you.
