Summary: The Long distance carrier uses BOC supplied ANI.


Your Alternative Long Distance Carrier gets a string that looks like;

KP-##-YOURNUMBER-ST KP-NUMBERYOUARECALLING-ST

The ## tells if you are on a party line, or some such, and specifies
variant pasring for the following MF digits.  Usually, for a direct
dialed call, this is 01.  This is called ANI for Automatic Number
Indentification.  It is provided as per the specifcation for Feature
Group D, as specified in the Modified Final Judgement in the ATT
anti-trust case.

In other words, if you use an illegal credit card or some such, you
will get caught.
