[Sedat ] Yes I know, that is why I have the plan b-) . If your telco
supports CID, then if you receive a new call within nn secs, your telco will
send a new CID which will activate plan b-)

 Only problem which remains is that, if the call originates from a switch
that does not support CID than that call will not be answered ( but for sure
he will try again some time later)

[Sedat ]  Yeah that would be my last take
