Pat, you are correct, but it still doesn't answer the original
question, why does the human operator STILL have to ask for your
account number?

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Maybe because the type of computer
system the company uses (or the voicemail, etc) does not present the
account number. Or maybe the first step (where you punch it in on the
phone as part of voicemail merely validates that you do have an
account but it does not get passed 'through the system' to the next
person you deal with? PAT]
