Yeahbut.

SBC was happy to assign me something that looks like a phone number, but 
wasn't, so I could make monthly payments on a Yellow Pages ad a few years ago. 
I was in area code 216, and the account number was 216 R01 XXX YYYY (I forget 
what the rest of it was).

So I'm not buying that argument. ;)
