Phone joys

I wish there was a way to unlist your number from the directory submissions without the fee that the phone company charges. I tried to have our number unlisted, with the oh so lovely monthly fee, only to find out that our name and number had been listed. What a fun call that was to the phone company to get them to stop charging us the monthly fee. It took a few calls but they finally stopped charging me, and our number is now once again listed, grrr.
