- Well ... taking the phone with you isn't the best idea in the world
- especially if there happens to be a police cruiser nearby. Those
- phones have ALWAYS had the capablility to block 10xxx calls since what
- you punch on the pad isn't neccesarily what goes out. The CPU sees the
- 10xxx and routes you to that bogus "Press 1 for AT&T" prompt that
- disables the ttp. I'd actually go one better ... just take a really
- large rock and smash the dial pad. That'll put the phone out of
- service for a short time. :)
