That’s the phone number SBC gave us without telling us, without any notification that the service was active. After I called them and told them to cancel the order for new service.
So that number’s been disconnected. I think we’ll be okay without a local number for now. Maybe later I can convince Denise and Jen to get a local number. Though truthfully, I’d probably be the one to use it most, having Gill call me an hour earlier instead of waiting till 10pm her time to call her on my “free” minutes on my cell phone.
On the other hand, it’d be nice to have local service for the times when the cell phones don’t work, for people to call us, and so that we have a local number, just in case.
Of course, it was hard enough convincing Jen to pay any part of the cable bill, so the phone will be an even tougher sell.
