I guess the PA ANI ruling is effecting the 800 immediate ANI.

I called it and it asked me to key in my area code and phone number.
I, of course was on the TB+, so I didn't comply.  It gave me three
tries and then told me since it didn't receive the tones, it could
answer for me and hung up.

Therefore, it didn't get ANI from me, so I guess the PA PUC's ruling
on wiretapping vs Caller-ID/ANI is now effecting 800 numbers.
