If my phone number is passed to everyone I call, then I cannot keep
it to myself.  I don't mind this, but many people buy unlisted
numbers and try to keep them private.  I keep seeing the suggestion
that one's unlisted number could be arranged for incoming service
only, thus preventing its use for outgoing calls, and
self-identifying.  This means that everyone who wants to keep a
private number private must have two lines!  (The other line is for
outgoing calls only, I suppose, so the called parties who get its
number can't call back.)  This makes the cost of an unlisted number
equal to the cost of two lines, doesn't it?
