I understand why (but don't agree with the FCC limit) I can't get Caller*ID on inter-lata calls. But NJ Bell (well, one rep ...) says that the Repeat Call feature (where the system would continue to attempt the call until it is no longer busy) will work for any number in the country where the destination number's CO also has the feature available. I can't see how this is right. Either they don't rely on SS7 and simply repeat the attempt every xx seconds, or they use SS7 and both numbers have to be in the same lata. I couldn't get the rep to change her story. She read her "features document" over the phone and it did indeed indicate that it works as stated in paragraph one above. Can anyone explain this? Any disclaimers made for me, by me, or about me - may or may not accurately reflect my failure to be reflecting the opinions of myself or anyone else. Brian Jay Gould - Professional Brain-stormer
