How can i prevent slamming?
Slamming is when you phone lines are switched to another carrier without your permission. It is illegal to slam. To test your lines for which carrier services each specific line, dial 1-700-555-4141. This will tell you, for that one specific line you called from, who the carrier is. You must repeat this for each line. Once you are sure you have the carrier, then call your local phone company and ask for a “PIC freeze.” The PIC (Primary Interexchange Code) is the 5-digit code the local phone company attaches to each call you make so they know whom to bill. By placing a “PIC freeze” on the line, the PIC code can’t be changed without VERBAL authorization from the user!
