Ron goes on to suggest that AT&T should have done something about it,
and, indeed, they might have taken a report, but then, they'd have to
do the same thing that they suggested ... Call Pacific Bell.

I found a payphone in a restaurant recently, that was labelled AT&T,
and gave some sleezy LD service instead.  I called Pacific Bell Repair
Service and reported it, and it was fixed the next day!  Since they
control the programming, I wouldn't think of calling AT&T for the
problem.
