I would talk to a supervisor at the phone company, and go as high as necessary. As long as the "false" name is not done for criminal purposes, it should not make any difference. My phone is listed in a deliberately mis-spelled name. This tells me when they sold it to somebody, I probably didn't want to have it in the first place. >Clarissa >>my number is listed as MS Brittany - my cocker spaniel. >>sabella %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Walter Daniels FBN Graphics prints specialties in small quantities at reasonable prices.
