This reminds me of what I generally do the first time I get a new
number:  I call the number and record the "<beep> The number you have
reached ... <number> has been disconnected..." on a special outgoing
message tape, which I save for later use. Then, when the time comes
when the telemarketers are rabid (or it is primary season, where
candidates' staff members are calling you for your support) I leave
the "special" OGM tape in.
