They each think the other has it and nobody sees the whole picture. They're only looking at what they see in their computer and they live and die by the computer. If it doesn't exist in their computer it Doesn't exist. The only thing I can say is that this number is probably ultimately obtainable. But it'll take a lot of persistence. Keep trying and trying and trying. You can also put the number into the Monitoring box in the Advanced Keyword Lookup at http://www.TollFreeNumbers.com/keyword/ and that will show you the status every month. Maybe that'll also be good to remind you to make a phone call to ask someone about it. Also try sending a gift basket to a helpful representative in one of the phone companies. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other specific questions. Bill<ul></ul> Dan,

When I call the number it says it has been disconnected, so I'm thinking maybe its available. D&E told me they found out it belonged to Sprint and I would need to call them. So I called Sprint and they said it belongs to one of their resellers - Conversent. So I called the number they gave me for Conversent and OneCommunications answered. They said the number is disconnected and when that happens it reverts back to Sprint. So I called Sprint back and they said the "resboard" shows its active and therefore still belongs to the reseller. So I called D&E back and they faxed something for me to sign so they can try and get the number for me - but it could take awhile. I'm afraid the number will be gone by then. Anything else that I can do, or that you can do? Dan<ul></ul> I contacted my local phone company today (D&E) about an 888 number that is of interest to me.
