Why is SBC offering a service like ACR?
This is not a new service. It is new to SBC, however, many other states offer this same service. In fact, General Telephone (GTE) in California has been offering this service for years. Many of our customers have been made aware of this service by calling others in areas that have it. There is also telephone equipment that can be purchased that provides a similar service. Many customers want to control the calls they receive and have been asking for this service for quite some time. We are happy to be able to offer it to them.
