Yesterday PacBell turned on ANI on our trunk groups, for local area calls. On their own, mind you, without request from us. If you call anyone here with a display phone, it displays your number, even if you have caller-id blocking on or you do a *70 (for those who don't know, ANI is not caller-id, you can't block your number from being displayed with ANI.)
It also grabs your phone number if you leave a voice mail, so even folks without display phones can benefit.
Why do I get the feeling that they will soon be offering a new feature (for a 'slight surcharge') that will block this feature, as well?
