Last year when I started the phone service for my new home, I decided
that paying for unlisted service was a crock, so I "listed" my phones
under another name with no address.  In California, you can be listed
in the phone book by whatever name you choose!

I suggest that everyone pick a name (Jones, Fred) and "list" their
unlisted numbers.
