[VoIP] Fun with Pat and Jane

[Steph Kerman]

It seems to me that in the past, certain OCCs I used via a 10xxxxx code 
did not transmit CID.  I discovered this when I was unable to reach 
people with Anonymous Call Rejection even though my line defaults to 
pass CID and I had not prefixed the call with *67.   This might or might 
not be true of the same carriers at this time.

Have you tried your cellphone?  In the past I found that some 
cellphones, although local, came through as "out of area".  But I have 
not paid attention to this recently.

If calls you place from your coin line through ACTS arrive "unknown" why 
doesn't that provide the test capability you're asking for?

In the past I also found that if I dialed 0+my own #, as though for a 
credit card call, the call would go out to AT&T and come back in, 
activating my Call Waiting, rather than returning a busy would happen if 
I simply dialed my own #.  I think this occurred on the present 5E 
rather than the 1AE that it replaced.   It's clear from this that once 
0+ was dialed, the local CO washed its hands of the matter and made no 
attempt to correlate the called and calling #s.  This does not surprise 
me.  Because of the delays required to release this call out to AT&T and 
back to my local office, if I hung up after dialing this, I would get a 
partial ring.
