In defense didface, when we moved into our house and changed our number, unlisted mind you, we kept getting phone calls for the previous owner of that phone number.  They were all very polite and said please and thank you.   We were pleasantly surprised and when we got a wrong number, we really didn't mind saying something like, you have the wrong number, or they no longer have this phone number.



On the flip side of this though, the reason for changing the number in the first place was we kept getting this drunk person calling in at 2-3 am during the week and weekends asking for such and such a person and he was actually carrying on a conversation with the answering machine and filling up the tape.  Mind you hubby gets up very early in the morning, so for him to have the phone ring at 2 & 3 am he has to get up in a few hours.  We even went so far as putting his voice on the answering machine instead of mine to ward off him calling, didn't stop him.  He wasn't nasty, just annoying.  Mind you this wasn't the main reason for changing the number, just the final straw.
