Not really "doing anything", but related: I had to set up a voip server for a test project in 2003, which was supposed to be terminated half a year later. Being a test project, I was advised not to document anything formally, just to place it in the rack and ignore everything else. I left this job soon after. 12 years later, the phone number still is working, even though the companies phone system has been relocated to another room and was replaced by another vendor. No idea how this happened. |

It could very well be that somebody migrated all the relvant phone numbers off the test system, and chose to preserve those numbers where they didn't know what they were needed for. Might be cheaper than risking losing functionality that somebody depends on. (Especially if the one doing the migration didn't know it was an abandoned test system).
