Nothing to do with slamming. Slamming was changing the long distance
carrier without your consent. If you use Comcast, you don't get a choice
of pre-subscribed long distance services and I doubt that Fg.B
(950-xxxx) or Fg.D (101-xxxx) codes works, as they were only mandated to
work with the Baby Bells.

At the moment, I have a long distance service that insists it has
neither Fg.B or Fg.D set up, but I find that hard to believe.
