I'd like to see the cellular companies adopt some of the services
the landline companies offer, such as block your ID and you don't
get through.

Notan

Consider an '800' number for your cell phone. I manage apartments and
when the tennents call I like to know who it is. The caller ID for 800
numbers is passed though and I get it every time. Only down side is I
have to pay for the call, but it is miniminal and worth it to get the
ID.

Drop me a note if you need more info on how to set it up.

Don't you have to wait for your long distance bill to arrive, or will you
get the Caller ID info on your phone, regardless of whether the caller has
turned Caller ID off?

Caller ID Blocking is automatically dropped when you call an 800 number
because the recipient is paying for your call. So the number passes through
just as if Caller ID Blocking was off.

Actually, no. Toll free lines do not use CID. They use ANI.

http://www.answers.com/topic/automat...identification

With certain providers, ANI can be passed to computer systems and/or
display units with the call.

I receive the calling number on EVERY call that goes thorough my 800
number to my cell phone. Strictly speaking the 800 lines use ANI, but
it is converted to CID at the end office.

Caller ID shows up on the screen on toll free calls. Caller ID Blocking
Still shows the number as the holder of a 800 number is paying, So he has
the right to know who is calling.

When I have to make a toll free call I use my prepaid calling card through
there 800 line. No caller ID from me. There Is ways around everything. or
payphones.

Not on any of my Sprint toll-free lines--and I have 4 of them.
