Identifying the phone number I am calling from. Is there a number I can dial that will tell me my number?

Question

Once a telephone technician came to fix my phone (in New York) and he told me that there is a number (free) that I can dial from any telephone, which connects me to an automatic service, which tells me (in an automated voice) which is the phone number I am calling from . I forgot what this number was (something like 711 ). I am now in New Orleans and need to find the phone number in the office that I am working. Does anyone know if there is such a phone number/service in this area? I think the phone is serviced by Bell South, now taken over by AT&T. The area code is 504 and the first 3 digits are 349. This is a direct phone, not an extention (yet it is within a company, so I need to dial 9 before I can dial out, even to a local numbers).

Thanks

Answer 1

958 but sometimes that dosent work with centrex so if dialing 9 for an outside line then 958 dosent work you can call 1-866-my-ani-is

Answer 2

it is different for every area, some areas don't have one.
Easiest thing is calling someone with caller ID and ask.

If it goes thru a PBX (as in dialing 9) the number will probably change everytime u call since what happens when u dial 9 is the PBX picks the next line available.

Answer 3

just call your cell or a coworkers cell.. or ask someone..
