If AT&T’s network
sees Flex ANI on the line you will here a recording stating that this call
cannot be completed from a payphone.
This is the recording you want to hear. It means that AT&T is seeing

“Your call has been completed.”
You do not want to hear this on a payphone line. If you hear the message stating
that your call has been completed, AT&T directs you to call you local
phone company and state that you are not getting Flex ANI on your payphone
line as seen by AT&T’s network.
If your LEC will not address the
