The callers all tell me that they got the number from directory assistance. Today. I finally got enough information to track down the listing - and, sure enough, the number they have for that person is my number. I've lived here for 3-1/2 years now, and had the same number for all of that time. How do I go about getting the erroneous listing removed? A complicating factor is that DA in this area is run by Southwestern Bell, but my area is served (?) by GTE. (Oh, for those who are interested: DA used to be 411 in the Houston area, until a charge [5 free calls, then 25 cents each per month] was instituted; then it was changed to 1411. This goes anywhere in 713.)
