I have just heard that BT will be making ACR (Anonymous Call Rejection) available from March 1st 2000 at a cost of GBP 9.99 per quarter. ACR enables subscribers to automatically reject telephone calls where the caller has actively withheld their telephone number. Subscribers may wish to do this to block sales calls or, more importantly, to block nuisance or malicious calls where the number is often withheld. This does mean, though, that if your company has, quite legitimately, set up its telephone system to automatically withhold its number you may find that your calls to some colleagues and clients are rejected. You will need to find out from your manager and IT department if it is acceptable to release the company telephone number in these circumstance and, if so, how that can be achieved. ------------------------- Karen Blakeman, RBA Information Services 88 Star Road, Caversham, Berks RG4 5BE, UK Tel:+44 118 947 2256, Fax:+44 870 056 8547 E-Mail:[log in to unmask] Tales from the Terminal Room http://www.rba.co.uk/tfttr/ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
