Well, gee. If I can avoid caller ID and 800 number ANI by simply using any old cellular carrier for $0.40/minute (cheaper off peak), then why should I pay $1.95/minute for the same service to 1-900-STOPPER?

Yeah, I know, that $1.95 probably includes the long distance portion too, but I doubt there are any ordinary domestic calls that cost as much as $1.55/minute...

Phil Of course, for Canadians, the services which allow one to dial U.S. 800 numbers (for a fee) work really nicely to defeat ANI.
