They (or the company actiing as their RESPORG) program you number in SMS/800.
The old company can drag their feet for a few days in releasing your number just to keep biling you.
Your new company can do an emergency request. It's $35-$50 on time charge to force the change in about a day.
Sounds like you number is pointed in the wrong direction if you are getting all of the weird recordings.

Hello!
I am in the middle of having a vanity toll-free DID set up. It's been 13
days now (9 business days). This is the first time I'm doing this, and
I'm not sure of the process. There has been a very weird progression of
changes on my number, from fast-busy, to a message saying that I'm calling
from a phone with restrictions (no matter *what* line I call from), to a
number advertising a $4/min "national directory assistance", and now back
to the restrictions error message.
Is there a way to track the status of a toll-free DID switchover? I've
checked the AT&T database and they no longer show my number as being
available (and I hope that's because I'm getting it! :) ), but that's
all I've been able to find out. The company performing the switchover has
been less than proactive in giving me information on this, even after
several requests. I understand that much (if not all) of the switchover
is out of their hands; however, I would really like to know why my DID
seems to be taking such a strange (and seemingly slow) roller-coaster
road, and more important, when I'll be able to get off!
Thank you for any information you would be able to provide! It seems that
toll-free is its own little world, and they don't want others to be
involved. I would appreciate any help you would be able to provide.
