Does this mean that the service-desk of companies are not compliant either?

1) Check in phonebook for number of VISA credit card service desk
2) Call listed number

They then will answer with:
"Hello, thank you for calling VISA credit card service desk, <insert name> 
speaking, how may I help you?"

Me: Hi, can you please direct me to <insert other name here>

How is this different from:

**
$ telnet mail.isp.com 25
Trying 10.1.4.50...
Connected to mail.isp.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mailer.isp.com ESMTP Postfix
MAIL TO <user>
MAIL TO OK
**
I guessed the last 2 lines, but I think it shows what I mean? :)
