When I signed up for my 800 service with Cable & Wireless, they indicated that a listing in 800 Directory would be $12/month extra. The explanation offered was that this fee is what was charged them by the providers of 800 Directory. I didn't spring for it, but it would be kinda funny for people to be able to ask for me by name at 800 Directory. By the way, my service costs $10/month. The per-minute rates are quite good: around $.21/day, $.14/evening, $.11/night. And they now have call detail with caller's ANI on the statement. For an extra $10/month, you get "Programmable 800", which lets you call into their switch from anywhere, and instantly reprogram where your 800 calls go. It works quite well, and C&W is the only carrier that I know of that offers this service. Call them at 800/486-8686. (I've no affiliation, other than as a customer).
