- Unlisted Phone Numbers
-
- There are a couple of different ways of doing this. Let's see if this
- one will help: Every city has one or more offices dedicated to assigning
- numbers to the telephone wire pairs. These offices are called DPAC offices
- and are available to service reps who are installing or repairing phones.
- To get the DPAC number, a service rep would call the customer service number
- for billing information in the town that the number is located in that he is
- trying to get the unlisted number of (Got that?). The conversation would go
- something like this: "Hi, Amarillo, this is Joe from Anytown business office,
- I need the DPAC number for the south side of town." This info is usually
- passed out with no problems, so... if the first person you call doesn't have
- it, try another. REMEMBER, no one has ANY IDEA who the hell you are when you
- are talking on the phone, so you can be anyone you damn well please! (heheheh!)
- When you call the DPAC number, just tell them that you need a listing for
- either the address that you have, or the name. DPAC DOES NOT SHOW WHETHER
- THE NUMBER IS LISTED OR UNLISTED!! Also, if you're going to make a habit of
- chasing numbers down, you might want to check into getting a criss-cross
- directory, which lists phone numbers by their addresses. It costs a couple-
- a-hundred $$$, but it is well worth it if you have to chase more than one or
- two numbers down!
