No because there is a database that routes your call and stores a record of that call in the switch. CDR's more formally known as Call Detail Records. thanx, bill when I was young I envisioned myself as the embodiment of Trinity, Now I realize I have turned into the Bambino questions, help?

Then just when we all think it has hit its limits, bio recognition (voice, body movements, etc) & holographic presentation devices (1st as 3D glasses, later as desktop, perhaps even floortop) will change the ball park yet again, drive whole new levels of demand & need for capacity & compute power.
