I don't know about NB. I can assure you, however that if you have a publicly responsible phone system, these kinds of things shouldn't be a problem. In my province (via SaskTel), the bad (massive unpaid long distance bills) and the very bad (no credit history, no money for a deposit, or a history of unpaid bills) can get "restricted" phone service. This may involve either no long distance dialout or even no dialout service, depending on exactly how terrible the customer may be. However, in each case, a telephone with a dial tone and full 911, 411 and 0 service is provided, and any incoming call is accepted. It is also possible to make any type of call with the store-bought phone cards on all these restricted phones. All payphones will allow 911 and 0 calls without restrictions or payment. Naturally, all cellphones can dial 911 without restriction (as elsewhere). -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
