Finding hidden configurations in a gui morass is annoying. Not
knowing anything about any of these applications, this is what I'd
try:
$ sudo grep -r 503-xxx-yyyy /etc | less
and/or
$ cd ~
$ grep -r 503-xxx-yyyy . | less
where 503-xxx-yyyy is the expiring phone number. Figure out which is
the right file, then:
$ vi <that-filename>
and change the phone number to the new one.
