Yes, that would work, except for the fact that companies move and change phone numbers. I remember trying to setup a 12-phonenumber ID, only to be told by the VAN, that the number was already in use by another company. The other company had been out of business for a long time, but trying to get the VAN to release the number would have been more difficult that just using some other ID. I think this was for JCPenney, who does not allow alpha IDs. > From: EDI-L@yahoogroups.com [mailto:EDI-L@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Vijay > Thomas > Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 4:30 PM > To: 'Todd Gould'; EDI-L@yahoogroups.com > Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Re: Loren Data vs. GXS....
