It's not so much of a coincidence that folks may think. Also, the folks that customer are speaking with are generally sales reps and customer service reps who don't really see what happens. I bet if they spoke with folks in RespOrg departments the RespOrg person would not recommend letting it go spare because they are the folks who really know what is happening.<ul></ul> This happens a lot and more than people may imagine.

I did not order a disconnect and was out of the area. When I returned I found that my main 800 # had been disconnected and I was told that I couldn't get it back.

      What can I do about this “theft” of an 800 #?

But in this case I would have to classify it as lost, rather than stolen. There’s not much difference in the end, but it wasn’t that someone else "took" it as much as it was just released, probably inappropriately by your carrier. It was disconnected by your carrier on 6/26/07 and was dropped from the disconnect process to the spare or available status four months later on 10/26/07. And it took a whole 17 seconds for a company I call the Black Hole to scarf it up. That’s why I call them the Black Hole, because they suck up everything night the world and nothing ever comes back out. They just don’t release anything to anyone at any price. Did you have any issues with the bill last summer, or did you change your phone company to another one and forget to transfer your toll free number? Those are probably the two most common ways to lose a number. And this isn’t the exception that it gets taken fast. This is very typical and probably about average for them, and is certainly the rule more than the exception.
