Re: Reach out! Update 01 (CypherPurists trash this)
Regarding the *67 feature to disable Caller ID: This does not stop your ANI information from travelling with your call. It just sets the "privacy bit" to on. So standard consumer-grade Caller ID systems won't see your number. But if the user on the other end is receiving your call over a T1, they can use a Dialogic voice processing card to yield your ANI, even with the privacy bit set. A *much* better way to do this is the following: Dial the Operator. Ask him/her to dial the 800 number for you. This will result in your ANI being (000) 000-5555 (or at least that's what it does in Bell Atlantic land). I tested this a couple months ago using AT&T's 1-800-MY-ANI-IS service. I directly dialed 1-800-MY-ANI-IS and it read back my phone number. Then I had the operator dial it for me and got (000) 000-5555. This service doesn't work anymore, YMMV.
