Not as unusual as you think. We have it Down-Under as well, but only on the later exchanges. Naturally, Telecom charge for it. Local calls aren't shown (but the number of calls made is, since they cost money), and STD/ISD (long distance) are broken down by date, time, destination, number, tariff, duration and cost. Nice! Enables me to say "Oi! I didn't make any phone calls to Auckland! I don't even *know* anyone in New Zealand!" and get the charge reversed.
