Just saw on the news here (Philadelphia) where Bell of PA. is now
going to offer a new custom calling service, Home Intercom...  Service
is aimed toward elderly, handicapped, and people with several phones
on the same line.  From a phone with the service, you can dial your
own number, and other phones on the line will give a distinctive ring.
Price is the usual two bucks and change per month.
 
Hoping that NJ Bell will also implement such a thing, since we have two
multi-phone lines here at home.
