- YES THEY DO! ESS Systems, even the old XBAR systems were able to do
- it. It's amazing the things the phone company does that they don't
- tell you about. I remember there was a Bell pamphlet on the AMA's
- (Automatic Message Account) that was supposed to go out to all
- customers but Bell decided that it would be too heavy for people to
- handle. I mean, after all, knowing that EVERY number you dial is being
- recorded isn't very comforting. I wonder, with the advent of SS7, do
- they still use tapes? I mean, with all that connectivity you'd think
- the info would be sent to a central storage facility. We'll have to
- wait and see I suppose. But the phone company WILL provide you with a
- detailed list of all numbers dialed, if you ask for it.
