and I have Pac Bell to think. Yesterday, I got a new service added to my Caller ID. I didn’t order it but I’m keeping it. Telemarketers can’t call me without identifying themselves, and the service automatically tells them to put me on the Do Not Call list.

It’s gonna cost me an extra 4 bucks a month. I would’a paid 10.

I have PB too, what is this service? $4 a month? Hmmm. I know they have anon call rejection, which is free but $4.50 for them to activate it. This is a better solution for me because someone can push ‘star 84 (83?)’ to get through it, it causes their number to display.
