" Southern Bell doesn't charge for unlisted numbers if you also have a listed number. (This is logical considering why they have a charge for unlisted numbers.) --henry schaffer n c state univ" Why does the TelCo have a charge for unlisted numbers? I've never really understood that. Why is it logical to not charge for unlisting one if you have another that is listed? Art Axelrod Xerox Webster Research Center

Consider it a stupidity charge. My "unlisted" phones are simply listed "in the name of another roommate" whose name is unlikely to be looked up. Some of my friends have "Emma Goldman"s phone in their house.
