It could allow the user to prefix any dialing with DD*, where DD is
two digits, and the number would appear on the phone bill.

Useful for remembering what calls were business calls or for
separating calls made by roommates.  Not secure, of course, but there
are many applications for which this is okay.

Information would not need to be communited to most LD carriers, since
they tend to contract their billing to the local carrier anyway.
