AT&T has run advertisments for quite a while now in NYC urging
payphone owners to check their carrier, with a special number to call
to reports changes.  It's not just COCOTs, but regular Bell phones,
that have been getting slammed.  On a similar note, in Grand Central
station, in which all of the phones were a year ago changed to have as
their default carrier "Sprint PublicFON Service", enough rail riders
have complained that they are now going back to AT&T.  At least they
aren't COCOTS yet.
