Re: Caller ID Incoming Calls (Billing)

YES and I want it badly.

My dad gets this (he has tmobile and verizon so I am not sure which verizon
I think ???)

I am ANGRY they do not do this. how am I to confirm it was a legitimate call
otherwise ??

to hell with privacy. its MY bill for my PERSONAL phone that I have to pay
for.

Yes it does

Many times my dad finds calls on his invoice that he NEVER HAD. sometimes 5
10 15+ minute calls that he never had. IE it was on his bill by mistake. he
would have never noticed if he could not see the incoming caller number.

??? NOT counting taxes I pay $40/Minutes used for each and every incoming
and outgoing call.

if I use 100% of my minutes I am paying 10 cents for EACH AND EVERY minute
that I call or recieve a call.

and that is only if I use 100% of my 400 minutes. (I rarely do) so it costs
me EVEN MORE than 10cents for that "unknown" call.

Especially if by removing "improper calls" ie ones that do not belong on my
bill might possibly take me BELOW an overage if such were to occur.

its the principle of the matter. I should see all caller id's to my cell
phone ON my bill.

ITs not a really big deal to me but it would be nice.
