Message-ID: Date: 3 Mar 91 01:31:05 GMT Sender: news@casbah.acns.nwu.edu (Mr. News) Organization: Boeing Aerospace & Electronics, Seattle WA Lines: 19 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 170, Message 7 of 13 Originator: telecom@delta.eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: hub.eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu The Caller*ID debates have seemed to spread to many newsgroups and I have come realize many of the issues people are worried about. Some seem to worry that calling from a phone that is not (or cannot be) blocked will give people their number. If you were using a cellular phone, would Caller*ID still provide your number? Are there any residence addresses associated with a cellular phone (i.e. the address of the owner or business, or can it be NONE)? I haven't seen much on cellular phones in this group so I hope this isn't a redundant question. Thanks!

They tend not to give any information that Caller*ID can use either. PAT]
