At one point we'd discovered that depending on the calling area -- you could set up call forwarding on regular phone lines and bounce calls for several hundred miles.
What a treat when we discovered we could also get it into/from Canada.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: The only trouble I see is if the local phone charges for each of the small hops (when added together for each hop) saved any money over the single long-haul charge of an interstate toll from the starting point to the eventual ending point. Long distance charges are quite inexpensive these days; can you get the combined (various) local charges down to less? And what about coordinating the in-between call-forwards? PAT]
