In Ontario, there's a feature that's supposed to protect you from anonymous callers. If the caller id is blocked, it asks the person to indentify himself, records a short message, then your phone actually rings, you hear the message and decide if you want to take the call or not. I've had it for a few months, and it turned to be a major annoyance, especially if you call from a cellphone -- it keeps the caller online all this extra time.
And of course, Bell sells both services: protecting your own caller id and protecting you from the callers with a protected caller id ;)
