Punksters, Ron McCoy asked about the 1-900 number I posted some time ago. The number is 1-900-STOPPER. Though I originally mentioned STOPPER, I would recommend that the better solution is to use a pre-paid calling card. Several companies offer them, including AT&T (buy them at AT&T Phone Stores) and Western Union (buy them at authorized Western Union agents). They both charge you about sixty cents per minute for US domestic calls (more for overseas). They come in various denominations ($5, $10, $20, etc.) To use them, you dial a special 800 number. When you get a beep, you dial in the card's unique serial number. When you get a second dial tone, you dial the area code and phone number you wish to call. Depending upon the card you have, there will be some method for determining how much time/money you have left after each call. Since I have not yet found out whether or not the issuers retain *your* phone number (captured by ANI), or for how long, it would be prudent to use the cards at payphones for any highly sensitive communications.
