Summary

Telephone Privacy Act of 1990 - Amends the Federal criminal code to permit the use of caller identification systems (i.e., devices which allow the recipient of a telephone call to determine individually identifying information about the caller or the originating number) if the provider enables the telephone call originator to block receipt of the identifying information. Authorizes civil suits against providers who provide caller identification systems to call recipients without providing blocking capability to call originators.
