This reminds me of something that happened to my husband. He had just moved into a new on-campus apartment. All the apartments had preassigned phone numbers. So, say his number was (617) 555-1212.
Just down the street was a Polaroid building. Their main line was (800) 555-1212.
So, suddenly my husband is getting all these calls for Polaroid's office on the street he was living on. Apparently it never occurred to some people that in order to dial an 800 number, you first have to dial 1-800.
Finally, he called the people that administer the school's phones, and made them change his number.
