Might I interest you in vinyl siding?

Working at home you get lots of sales calls. It's pretty clear which ones are since they never get names or even gender right. But, hey, they have a job to do too.

Which led me to a new product idea: on-demand reverse billing. It's quite simple, at any point during a phone call you dial **5 and the party on the other end is billed by the minute to talk to you. Want to tell me about your new credit card? a minute, minimum charge , go ahead.

The phone company should love it since they would get a percentage. The calling party *might* love it because they have a captive audience and, presumably, that's all they need in order to make the pitch.

Here's how it should work: dial ** and the per minute fee. **5 for /min, **9 for /min, etc.. After you dial the fee a message informs the caller of the rate and allows them to hang up. You probably don't want to dial it too high or the other end will immediately hang up. Too low and you're missing out on valuable income. This might even be useful for consultants and phone support.
