Deleting rows from a JTable using DefaultTableModel

Question

First of all, is it possible to remove a row of information from a table that uses the DefaultTableModel?
I have created a table using the default table model as follows:
          tblPhoneNumbers = new JTable(new DefaultTableModel(
                    new Object[][]{{"",""}},
                    new Object[]{"Number", "Type"})
I then have a button that when clicked is supposed to remove the selected row from the table:
     protected void btnRemovePhoneActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
          DefaultTableModel phoneDm = (DefaultTableModel) tblPhoneNumbers.getModel();
          int selectedRow = tblPhoneNumbers.getSelectedRow();
          int numRows = tblPhoneNumbers.getRowCount();
          if(selectedRow >= 0 && selectedRow < numRows-1)
               phoneDm.removeRow(selectedRow);
By calling the removeRow() method it is updating the table in the dialog just fine, and shifting all of the information up to where it belongs. But if for example I remove the first row, and then try to access the information in the first row, the information I supposedly just removed is still there.
Am I supposed to be firing an event on removing that row to manually update the data in the table? If so, how would I do that?
It seems like this should be really easy to do I just can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
