On a normal phone bill, you see calls "to" if you dial direct, and
"from ... to" (or vice versa) for third-party or credit-card
(calling-card) calls, and you get "[collect] from" if you accepted a
collect call?

Now if you call-forward to a number which is long-distance, you are to
see the long-distance charge for a call from your phone to the phone
where you are forwarding to.  How does this appear on your phone bill?
(Lack, for whatever reason, of Caller-ID would prevent you from seeing
the number which called you and got forwarded, right?)


[Moderator's Note: Because it is not a credit card or third-party-pay
call, you would not see the 'from' information. You would merely see a
long distance call at direct dial rates, placed from your line.  PAT]
