- In Toronto, you can call the Bell Canada Customer Listing Bureau at
- (416) 446-3090, between 1100 and 1400 EST, and if you give them the
- phone number, the operator will tell you who the number is registered
- to. The rules for 976 numbers may be different, however. The process
- works for most "normal" numbers. Give it a try.

- [Moderator's Note: I just now tried it for 312-976-WAKE, our local
- wake-up service (if their bill doesn't cause you to jump out of bed, I
- don't know what would). IBT-CNA (312-796-9600) would only say it is a
- "Public Announcement Service"; no record as to owner, etc. PAT]
