Indeed, and along those lines, try to make sure those numbers stay active
through corporate evolution, acquisitions, etc. If I dig (no pun
intended) around enough, I'm sure I can find some boxes with dead "For
trouble, call..." numbers. That isn't always possible, and some companies
are notorious for having 237 different numbers to call depending on what
you need, but it's probably a lot cheaper to continue operating a
backwater 800 number than it would be to dispatch techs to re-label field
equipment.
I hope everyone stateside is having a good and quiet Thanksgiving :)
