Unfortunately, our local phone company is claiming that the phone line was never blocked. This seems odd, particularly since we’ve never received a long distance bill before now and we’ve been renting the home for over three years. Truth be told I never tried to make a long distance phone call prior to this incident, but I was not able to make a long distance call after receiving the bill. It’s all very odd, but I am unable to convince the local phone company that they played a role in this issue.

If you have proof that you requested the blcok then the phone company should cover the cost completely as it’s their fault the block was removed.

I had a similar experience a few years back with a second line into my flat which had belonged to the company I worked for (the last person in the job rented the same flat and worked from home: long story)

I just thought it was a second extension of my main line and, because somehow my internet settings had reverted on my computer after I moved cities, unknowingly I was dialing long distance to use the internet.

When my company asked about the bill, I was able to provide a copy of the fax they’d sent to the telephone company requesting the line be cut off and so we ended up owing nothing…
