It is always admirable IMO when a vendor such as Fast Forward (Vanagon parts vendor -- mandatory Vanagon content). It increases their accessibility. However, you should all be forewarned that all toll free number's will read your ANI (automatic number identification). That means that the receiver of the call will get your telephone number whether you have caller ID blocking or not. They pay the bill for the call so they are entitled to know where the call is coming from. That's the reasoning. SO if you want to harass David Marshall or some other vendor by running up their Toll Free number billing, go to a pay phone or Mike Miller's phone.
