In article  <11439@accuvax.nwu.edu> is written:

When I moved from PA to NJ some years ago, I asked for the new number
to be put on the intercept message, and ended up with what you
describe above.  Perhaps it has to do with being in a different LATA?
I can't see any technical reason to require the different message.
