1-700-555-4141 is a number that tells you who your long distance provider is, and that’s all it does. Actually, it tells you which company carries your long distance service over their wires, but they could be doing it for a third party.
For example, discount long distance carriers usually don’t have their own network, so they pay another carrier to carry their long distance traffic. So when you dial 1-700-555-4141, it might say Willtel, Qwest, Verizon or MCI, even though you send your monthly payment to Powernet Global or Opex.
It’s actually a good idea to call 1-700-555-4141 every once in awhile, just to make sure you are still with the long distance carrier that you chose. Sometimes, companies will slam customers, which is moving them to another carrier without their OK, and that can cost a bunch of extra money. If you catch them at it, and turn them in to your old carrier, then they have to pay the old carrier 150% of what they billed you and collected, and then your old carrier will give you the extra 50% for your trouble.

I would like to know if the order i placed Tuesday for Vartec is operational.
