Recently, there was a big discussion here of the extended telephone services being tried by South Central Bell. Today, In the San Jose Mercury News, there was an article stating that Pacific Bell is planning to offer a set of such services to its customers starting in Q2, 1988. The list of services included is as follows: * auto callback * auto recall (call me back when call goes through) * customer-originated trace * call identification * call-identification blocking * distinctive ringing * selective call forwarding * selective call rejection The article does not state how long it will take until these are offered in all Pac Bell exchanges. It also does not give the charges for these services. Finally it notes that Pac Bell has not yet filed with the PUC and so everything is subject to change at the regulators' whim. -- Ted Marshall ...!ucbvax!mtxinu!blia!ted <or> mtxinu!blia!ted@Berkeley.EDU Britton Lee, Inc., 14600 Winchester Blvd, Los Gatos, Ca 95030 (408)378-7000 The opinions expressed above are those of the poster and not his employer.
