Interesting- I missed the 'work phone' aspect of this thread. The answer
appears to be obvious- the phone is issued for business purposes, and the
numbers in the phonebook are the numbers determined by the business to be
'authorized' calls. These were programmed into the phone, and then the
phone was locked down. If this is the case, I have to applaud them for a
pretty creative way to keep costs down. And if I'm right, I'd be careful
about unlocking the phone and calling other numbers- if they went to the
trouble to lock them down with a limited phonebook, they may also take the
time to look over the bills to spot numbers out of the ordinary.
