[comp.dcom.telecom] Wrong Number at Directory Assistance

" Maynard <jay@splut.conmicro.com> (01/02/90)

I have been getting sporadic calls for someone with a completely
different name over the past year or so. The callers all tell me that
they got the number from directory assistance. Today. I finally got
enough information to track down the listing - and, sure enough, the
number they have for that person is my number. I've lived here for
3-1/2 years now, and had the same number for all of that time.

How do I go about getting the erroneous listing removed?

A complicating factor is that DA in this area is run by Southwestern
Bell, but my area is served (?) by GTE.

(Oh, for those who are interested: DA used to be 411 in the Houston
area, until a charge [5 free calls, then 25 cents each per month] was
instituted; then it was changed to 1411. This goes anywhere in 713.)
