Lawrence to test Caller ID
Obscene phone calls and telephone pranks soon may be a thing of the past in Lawrence.
By Stacy Morford Kansan staff reporter
Yesterday, Southwestern Bell Telephone filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission for permission to begin Caller ID service in Kansas with Lawrence as its Midwestern guinea pig
When a subscriber to the service receives a phone call, the phone number of the caller appears on the subscriber's telephone unit before he or she picks up the phone.
"In effect, Caller ID puts control back in the customer's hands," said Mike Scott, Southwestern Bell representative. "By knowing who's calling before answering the phone, the customer can decide whether to answer the call, call back later or simply ignore it."
When a subscriber is not available to answer calls, the service will store the date, time and phone number of all incoming calls.
Customer privacy should still work both ways, Scott said.
"There are times customers may not want their numbers disclosed, including the anonymity of undercover police officers or the safety of domestic violence shelters," Scott said.
To offer the callers privacy, Southwestern Bell
To prevent their numbers from appearing on receivers' units, callers can type 1167 before the number. The words "private" or "anonymous" will appear on the receiver's unit instead of a phone number.
also plans to implement a free blocking feature.
Ed Goldring, Pizza Hut delivery manager, said, "I would love it if it was available. I would lose a lot less money to false orders."
Scott said the Caller ID service had been popular in fast food restaurants which often receive prank calls.
Scott said larger businesses with extension lines were unable to use the service.
"It probably won't work at the University or in the dorms because of the multiple lines," Scott said. Scott said Lawrence was chosen to test Caller ID databases. In other cities in Kansas that is served by one central office,
"We've always tried out new services in Lawrence," Scott said. "Lawrence has historically been a good test site for us."
Scott said the new service should be available in both Lawrence and Clinton by Dec. 21.
Lawrence residents can use the service for $6.50 a month, with an initial installation charge of $6. Businesses will pay $8.50 a month and $26.50 for installation on each phone.
The display unit needed to see the caller's phone
How Caller ID works
1. Bob calls Jane. The number travels down a line to the switching office.
2. The switching office causes Jane's phone to ring. Bob's phone number is shown on Jane's Caller ID display after the first ring.
3. Jane is now able to tell who she is calling her before she answers the phone.

Muskogee, Okla., is the only Southwestern Bell location with the Caller ID onboard.
Southwestern Bell plans to offer Caller ID in Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City by summer 1994. The company also plans to offer the service in Arkansas, Missouri and Texas.
