My name is Robert Lenoil; I live in Mountain View, California. I received a Foncard in the name of Robert Menoil, mailed to the city MountainViewRracks, California. I called Sprint and asked to have a new card issued to the correct name and address. The operator politely informed me that to change the address, they would have to close the existing account and open a new one. Also, since their computer would not allow two accounts to have the same number, my new number, instead of being my home phone number plus a 4 digit pin, would instead be a random fourteen digit number. I politely told the operator that my AT&T credit card works just fine, does not require dialing some 800 number, and is issued in my name and mailed to the correct address; please cancel my account and don't bother opening a new one.
