According to an otherwise-clueless Bell Canada representative, Caller*ID, or "Call Management Services" as it is known here, will be available in Toronto effective April 22nd.

A phone bill insert also says that subscribers can call the operator and ask to have their phone number kept secret for one call - the operator then places the call. FOR ONLY C$.75 A CALL !!!!! Anyone want to start a Canadian 1-900-STOPPER service for 50 cents a shot ? Dave McKellar UUCP: djm@dmntor.UUCP UUCP bang: ...!uunet!jtsv16!geac!dmntor!djm BITNET: djm%dmntor.UUCP@CSRI.TORONTO.EDU

The local telco (GTE subsidiary, BC Telephone Co.), tried to do the same thing here, and was, I believe, denied the operator charge. How they are going to get around it, I don't know. On an unrelated matter, they are dropping TTone charges from $1.30 per residence line and from $2.55 per business line, while at the same time raising the basic rate for all lines by $.90 per month.
