Callback phones
I picked this up on the alt.2600 newsgroup. Seems like it could be used
for things like privacy enhancement if it was coupled with a credit
card/cashier's check that wasn't in your name along with perhaps a call
back loop.

THE BEST WAY TO SAVE ON INTERNATIONAL LONG DISTANCE IS TO USE
KALLBACK DIRECT
KALLBACK is the original "call-back" service provider. Kallback was
specifically designed to save international businesses and frequent
travelers 40%-90% on their international long distance.
How it works is very simple. When you subscribe to Kallback, you receive
a personal "trigger number." When you want to make an international
call, dial your trigger number and hang up after the first ring. The
Kallback computer will then call you back with a US dial tone, so instead
of paying the local telephone company's rates, you are billed at
Kallback's, which are among THE LOWEST IN THE WORLD.
Because no outgoing call is ever completed, our customers who call from
hotels DON'T HAVE TO PAY HOTEL TELEPHONE SURCHARGES.
It doesn't matter where you need to make a call from, because your location
number can be changed at any time. You can have the Kallback
computer ask for you by name, by room number or both. You can even
program in touch tones, so Kallback will work with your automatic
phone answering system. Kallback also supports modems and fax machines.
To give an idea of the savings you will see with Kallback, compare the
rates you are paying now to the following:
TO THE UNITED STATES FROM(per min in $US):
Australia $ .52
Canada .23
France .49
India 1.06
Japan .78
Philippines .99
UK .36
