In my monthly Southern Bell bill was a page-long message about Caller ID coming to "areas where the technology is available" effective July 1, 1991. Per-call blocking will be available dialing *67 (tone) or 1167 (pulse) before the call. "There will be no charge for blocking the transmission of the number. Blocking may not operate from coin telephones and trunk-type services, e.g. motels, hotels and private branch exchanges (PBXs)." "Per-line blocking is availabble to law enforcement agencies' office lines aas well as domestic violence intervention agencies' access lines at established shelters." It then gives an address where "law enforcement agencies and/or domestic violence intervention agencies" can write to apply for per-line blocking or for more information. Looks like they have some pretty specific ideas about who they're going to give per-line blocking to.
