I've heard rumors that some carriers pull their ANI information from CID thereby enabling you to block it just like you would the normal signal. Other methods of remaining anonymous can be achieved by going through long distance companies that don't pass on ANI information or paying companies who offer you ANI blocking dial-throughs.
Another way to defeat ANI or whatever is to call 800 numbers by using a pre-paid calling card.
It would still be possible for the LD company to just pass through your information for ANI, although I wonder what percentage actually do. ________________________________ [ Bruce M. - Feist Systems, Inc. ] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Official estimates show that more than 120 countries have or are developing [information warfare] capabilities." -GAO/AIMD-96-84
