Sprint offers call-accounting codes.

When you dial a long-distance, after 11 digits you get a second
dialtone where you dial any two digits. The bill splits up all calls
according to the two digit accounting code.

My roomates and I love it since we don't have to pay the surcharge for
calling card dialed calls, and it avoids the 'who made the call to
Alaska' syndrome.

Also, I finally got a straight answer from the droids at Rochester Tel
(after talking to 5 [count 'em, five] people). They offer call
forwarding on busy to a fixed number (i.e., the number can only be
changed from the CO). I can't belive that only one out of five reps
knew about this service.
