Sources: Carrier - All With History (legacy, last refreshed 2026-05-14, no longer updated) (legal_name, bus_telno, bus_street_po, bus_zip_code); Company Census File (phone, cell_phone, legal_name, phy_street, phy_zip). The old file lists a business address (bus_*), the census a physical one (phy_*); they are compared by the numbers in the street line and the ZIP, because the two files spell street words differently. A change can be a normal move or a new phone.
