Gerry,

Thats a really good point. I forgot about the 800 number, the question 
is if an 800 or 888 number is tied to a local number does the caller ID 
information get passed onto the customer even if  caller ID has been 
disabled on the senders end. In other words you are right that the telco 
has to have the number for billing but would they pass that onto after 
capturing that data for their billing. I am not familiar enough to know 
how this would be handled so if anyone knows for sure I would appreciate 
a response.

Thanks
