I know it's a lot of work, but Mr. Warren's advice is excellent.

Many years ago this happened to us, except it was our calls being
billed to someone else. (We reported it to cover our butts). A few
months later they discovered the error. The billed party, a business
customer, had been screaming about the calls, but the phone co at
first refused to do anything since they claimed it could've been any
employee. Finally they did a physical check in the CO and found the
wiring error.

In thinking about it, I wonder if the business customer got billed for
our message units as well. We had message rate service though we were
pretty careful to stay within the monthly allotment. (Flash forward
to today -- we went to flat rate service, then Metropolitan Area flat
rate, and now have national unlimited.)
