- You can get the effect you want by ordering Remote Call Forwarding
- from the old number to the new. The old number becomes a bookkeeping
- entry in the old central office that just forwards calls to your new
- number. I use it because there are lots of folks who just know my old
- number (clients I haven't seen in a few years). Not cheap ($15/mo +
- message unit charges for the forwarded calls - PacBell), but if you
- need it, you need it.
