    I extracted this from a spreadsheet that I downloaded.

    CF29XXX23XX
    The Red numbers are not listed in the configurator.

    Pinecone informed us in another thread that those two numbers designate the specific Govt or company that that model was built for/sold to. I went to the spreadsheet and correlated all the companies with the model numbers. This is what I came up with.

    Worchester Hear (should be Worcester Heat)
    Belgaxom (should be Belgacom)

    Also I'm 99% sure that customers won't share one model number (I'm assuming MoD = UK Ministry of Defence) - they probably order different models, one had CF-29 mk1 and the other had CF-29mk2 for instance and therefore had the same "customer number", but resulted in them both having individual model numbers.

    very nice information!

    I can confirm it. Well, at least for customer DT which I suppose means Deutsche Telekom (you know, T-Systems, T-Mobile, whatever) since I work there and had handled a few (like 25) CF-29 last week and all had a 40/45/46 at the noted space.

    Edit means: The one I have at home right now has CF-29HTT 40BG
