Pat, From what carrier do you buy 800 service with ANI? How is the ANI delivered? Jack Powers [Moderator's Note: I subscribe to Telecom*USA out of Cedar Rapids, IA. It costs me $2.75 per month, plus about twenty cents a minute or so on calls received. It rings in on my regular line. The ANI comes with the monthly billing; however it is only about 75-80 percent complete. They cannot seem to provide it on some of the calls. One recent peculiarity was a call I received via the 800 number from 'Toll Station #2' in one of the teeming metropolis' of Nevada. It came on the ANI report as 702-XXX-0002 with the place name 'Reno Microwave, NV'. Usually the places they miss take the form 405-278-XXXX, for example. PT]
