Default searching for POI by phone #

About 95% of the time if I try to search by phone number for example 973 555-1212 it comes back with a message saying area code might have changes and shows *** 555-1212 listing about 10 places. The only places that I have been able to find are Lexus dealers, police stations and hospitals - all of which are also under emergency listings. You would think that lexus would realize only 1 place can have a unique area code and phone number. I think the navigation in my blackberry is better. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks,

RK

I haven't as of yet and I use the phone number feature all of the time. It is quicker then plugging in an address. So it works OK for me. I don't know what POI you are looking for but I get restaurants and personal addresses and it works fine. Does it do this with all of the numbers or just a specific one.

Every number I put in except for the Lexus Dealers, Hospitals or Police. Would be very strange if it's just a coincidense that I just keep putting numbers that they don't have. My 2005 Acura had all of them - that's what's so strange
