Are you saying that by calling this number, someone can arbitrarily cause 'his or her' (read: ANY) line to be slammed? Time to call the phone company and see if we can get slam protection here. (Is 'slam' an 'official' word, or did c.d.telecom just adopt it as an apt description?) (Or was I swallowed up in a Moderator joke? Hmmm...)

[Moderator's Note: No, it was not a joke. Well, the part about converting you over to MCI was, but not the part about being able to do it. One of the menu choices given was 'to set up your phone with one plus dialing' ... and I am sure they did not mean with AT&T as the default carrier! PAT]
