Re: Where Am I Listed ? said by grand total:Superior is definitely a matter of opinion because I would not want a provider to do that on my behalf.
With other providers' usage of *67 your information is [not] protected, and will still be displayed if the phone company at destination ignores the privacy tag (by accident or on purpose).
And:
With other providers' usage of *67 your information is [not] protected at all when you call a tollfree number.
Also:
You might be calling a tollfree number without realizing it, because some people forward their regular phone number to a TF number, for the specific purpose of penetrating any *67 from inbound callers.

CallCentric's solution avoids all 3 of these very real problems. |

Very well said.
I was using Grand Total's post more as an example of having similar feelings about different issues on his and my behalfs, but I agree with you on what you say here (and earlier) about *67 in particular.
CallCentric might do well to incorporate your above explanation into their FAQ on *67.
However CallCentric would also do well to explain in their FAQ that the 2nd dialtone which you get if you dial *67 and wait (like POTS requires before dialing the eventual number) is not going to allow their superior *67 to work at all (as I discovered earlier during this thread).
People transitioning from POTS, cable, and cellular services are for the most part familiar with the traditional functionality of *67, and if it is going to be changed by a progressive (and also conscientious) VoIPP, then they ought to make us aware of how theirs works, AND/OR, as I suggested earlier, make an error message or a busy signal to let us know that something is not as we had expected, when we dial *67 and wait....
After all, we DSLR participants, in all of our alleged and sometimes self-proclaimed eliteness, are the minority of folks overall, and something should also be done for John Q. Public and HIS level of awareness of all this high tech stuff (IMNSHO).
= = = = = = = = = =
Also, as I might have to use CC's version of *67 as part of a dialing plan work-around, to avoid the manner in which I feel that they are handling their outbound CNAM/LIDB policies, I have a larger interest in understanding *67 than I did in the past.  |
