I just discovered the perfect solution to the caller privacy issue.
Suppose you make a telephone call and the callee is automatically
refusing calls unless the caller is willing to identify himself.
You hear a tone and a voice that says:
"*Blip* *Bleep* *Blurp* This call cannot be completed as dialed
unless you enable caller identification. You can do this by flashing
the switchook once, or by dialing *7 on your touch tone telephone,
*NOW*."
There is now a five-second wait. If you enable caller id as
instructed, your call goes through immediately and you don't even have
to redial.
