    I thought this might be of interest due of the recent discussions 
about ANI and privacy.  I've seen this type of service before, but this 
one is apparently free (besides the cost of calling their area code if 
you aren't local).

It might be cheaper to use a pre-paid phone card.  However, the company that
issues the card has access to your ANI information.

    Why not increase your level of precaution and use your pre-paid phone 
card to dial the number that ripco advertised and then dial out from 
there?

Or by chaining two or more pre-paid calling cards.  It's all
economics.

True, but so what?  If you are calling L.L.Beam's 800 number, 
and you don't want them to know who you are, do you really think 
Beam will be able to get that info from the pre-paid calling card 
company?  If you want to call a snitch line, on the other hand, 
use a pay phone.
