  1. You go DAD.

    Makes you wonder what the kid did.


  2. Great answer DAD.

  3. Phone companies don't keep track of local calls that are made as these kinds of calls are included in the basic cost of the land line.  Long distance calls, however, are tracked, even if your service includes unlimited long distance calling.  Just because your dad works for AT&T doesn't mean he runs the place and they may, or may not, be able to easily track all local calls.  I'm leaning towards "not easy".  

    As for blocked calls, are you talking incoming or outgoing?  Outgoing blocked long distance calls on land lines show up but the number on the bill is the number being called, not the one doing the calling.  Any incoming long distance call on a land line, blocked or otherwise, doesn't show up at all because the recipient isn't the one paying for the call.  Cell phones would work pretty much the same way (although my cell phone bill doesn't show numbers being called at all; it's billed by minutes, roaming charges, etc.)

  4. im  switching to verizon   lol

  5. Let me make sure I have this right. Your dad works for AT&T and you dont want him to know what numbers you called on a landline? Well, speaking as a dad who works for Verizon you're not likely to outsmart him unless you use a phone that he's not paying for like someone else' cellphone, prepaid phone, magic jack, or payphone.
