My AT&T 800 number (which is administered by Pac*Bell) has had it's share of wrong numbers and billing errors. I have had no trouble convincing Pac*Bell reps that I am fully aware of the amount and origin of legitimate traffic on the line and they have not hesitated to remove any and all charges that do not correspond to my known usage. BTW, the 800 number I *really* wanted was an MCI prefix. I gave it up because I wanted AT&T. After reading Macy's narrative, I'm glad I did. John Higdon | P. O.
