	There is a charge for having Call Trace and each time you use it,
	something like $2.50 and $5.00-$8.00 respectively. I agree though,
	that it is good for nuisance calls, yet they only turn them over to
	the Police IF requested, not automatically, and if there are two
	occurances from the same number.

	ps. I know for a FACT that this Call Trace works WELL.
