- That information is encoded on the lines no matter where you call from within
- the States. I can't answer for other systems. The part about installing CID
- is actually getting the "box" to read that information. So, if you call
- from San Diego CA (no CID) to anyplace that has it, the information still
- shows between the first and second ring.
