Does anyone know, or will anyone speculate about the impact the recent
state rulings regarding CID will have on 800 ANI? I mean if it's
illegal for an individual to find out the caller's number, then it's
illegal no matter how it is marketted. Right?

[Moderator's Note: Except that you are entitled to the information if
you are paying for the call, which is what 800 calls are about: the
receiver automatically paying for the call, although there is a
difference between real-time delivery of the information such as
American Express receives versus billing information supplied up to a
month later, such as I receive. PT]dave%westmark@uunet.uu.net (Dave Levenson) (07/24/90)

PT] In an earlier posting, Patrick tells us his 800 service is provided by Telecom USA. We recently signed up for their low-usage 800 service, and we were told that detail billing giving the calling number is not offered. They'll tell us the originating city only. Is this a recent change in their policy? (just curious) Dave Levenson Voice: 201 647 0900 Fax: 201 647 6857 Westmark, Inc.

Someone else write to say they were advised by Telecom*USA that the service was no longer available, and gradfathered to existing customers. It includes full ten-digit numbers about 75-80% of the time. PT
