Whether true or not, I was told that nearly 80% of people in the US have caller ID. I would say that number is much higher for business, especially on PRI circuits. I think the two big motivators there were packaging of services, for X amount extra, you get caller ID, call waiting, voicemail on at the telco, etc.... The other factor was the proliferation of telemarketing. Before the DNC, a white pages listed home phone could ring a dozen times a day by people selling "stuff". -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
