They could have had the phone company that is serving that number issue the sex line company a new number (ie: Just switch the sex line's number) and hang a message on the old number apologizing for the error and saying "Press 1 for Linksys" and "Press 2 for Sex Line" and upon a response redirect to the correct number. Alternately, the message can give the correct 2 numbers and say "Hit 1 to repeat the numbers.

 Maybe.....but why cause another businesses customers unneeded grief? There customers should be connected without issue, at the number they know and have been dialing all along.

2 edits		 I have seen an international organization that has a website go through an update recently and one major nation that is not yet updated with a link to their national site is India. Coincidence? Maybe not.

Also, it seems to me that it is good business for Cisco to take the blame for the phone number problem rather than hurt Circuit City or any other retail seller.

Do you have any idea how much that number would cost Cisco if it were my phone sex number? Think 7 figures...
