Why would you pay $20 plus fee per minute if that is all it takes to accomplish this task?

This is wrong, even if some corporation-friendly loophole makes it technically legal.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/questions-about-the-caller-i-d-falsification-caller-id/http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/questions-about-the-caller-i-d-falsification-caller-id/
-placing a call and removing a Caller ID (sending a blank number), similar to what may be done with Caller ID blocking except *69 will not work and when the recipient's phone rings they will not see "Blocked" or "Private". Our customers use this to defeat Privacy Guard.

-sending the true phone number of the collection agency, rather than a DID that may be set for outgoing calls only or not ring properly into the companies auto attendant system. Perhaps a satellite or overseas office handles outgoing calls and another office handles incoming calls. Or the agency wants to provide a toll free number for debtors to call into. Or the agency needs to change their number to direct callers for personnel reasons, send all ABC Credit Card accounts to a group dedicated to this customer.

We do not allow collection agencies to send any number to a debtor. We believe because you can do something doesn't mean you should, collection agencies know they must act responsibly or face problems down the road.

As Vincent C. Todd - Attorney at Law, posted above, it clearly is illegal.

You "say" its legal, the same legal as the Patriot act?

There's 2 sets of "legal" in the US now, the one for the masses, and then the one for Corporate, They are NOT the same, and according to my interpitation of the Constitution, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL...unless you want to hide behind something that is illegal for me but not for you, greater good crap..

I only hope that you get a class action and be shut down, but I think that you probably have to many lobbyists, and other big brother entities behind you to cover your self..

This is NOT a Free US anymore, Its become a Corporate run Empire, with Slaves, with LESS and LESS Civil Rights everyday...

People and companys like you make me SICK, and YOU have RUINED the America that I USED to Love...

The web site is mostly under construction which is strange since they've been "in business" for 5 years. They look like they're just like *38 except they haven't publicly advertised. Now they've got competition and they're mad because the cat's out of the bag. Maybe now we can get lawmakers to outlaw these "services".]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/questions-about-the-caller-i-d-falsification-caller-id/http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/questions-about-the-caller-i-d-falsification-caller-id/
"The means in which people are spoofing caller ID over VOIP is illegal right now—and prank or no prank, it is breaking the law. Our service is legal."
