Can anyone say where the content of this page came from? It was all put here in one edit, with a low link density, which is usually a sign of copyright violation. Derrick Coetzee 18:05, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• It looks like much (if not all) of it is from old phone phreaking resources on BBSs from the late 1980s and early 1990s. I really don't think anybody is compiling this stuff anymore. -71.49.161.98 16:55, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

People are still making lists of this sort of stuff. See Phreaks and Geeks. Timsheridan 18:56, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

These numbers are not entirely private and are used by many telephony service personnel today which means most of the numbers are still current. I suggest that the removal of the list was in haste, as it's not clear that any copyright has been violated. Although these numbers are not published in local directories, they are freely available if requested from local interconnect and central offices.

[edit] Wikipedia is not a directory

Wikipedia is not a list of phone numbers. This page is for explaining what an ANAC is, not listing every ANAC in the known world. FCYTravis 04:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This page should have at least one number listed that announces your number

I know there are several numbers that can be used to get your phone number played back to you, and that was the reason why I came here to this article, and the article does not have a number listed that you can call.

One such number that works is 1-800-444-4444.

This page should list this number on it as a reference for people who need to see what number a phone they have is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.138.246.93 (talk) 03:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
