I needed one of these faceplates--the one on my phone cracked when I
tried to file out two new squares to accomodate the * and # buttons on
the new dial I had just installed (but that's another story).

I went to my local Bell phone center store, chose a salesperson of the 
opposite sex, and smiled a lot while asking if they knew where I could 
get one.

At first, they recommended I try the AT&T repair center (a mere $16),
but then (seeing my crestfallen look), walked over to a cardboard box
with a bunch of junk phones in it, pried off a faceplate, and gave it to
me.  It wasn't the right color, but the price was right ($0).

You may have to try more than one phone center store before this
technique will work for you.  At least these places are listed in 
the phone book nowadays.  If you are ugly, I recommend you coach a 
good-looking friend into helping you.  Good luck.
