I know of a number to find your number.  It works in most USWest
sites.  If not, you'll get a funny recording.

Only use this in US West areas.  I don't know what will happen if used
elsewhere. ( I'm not responsible if you start WWIII or something :))

                       41311

Dial it, then the infamous female voice will come on and say your
number.  Sometimes it does ring a couple of times first.

Let me know how it works for you.

[Moderator's Note: US West is quite exceptional if it keeps this
number on a long term basis (like more than another month). Most
telcos seem to change the number a lot, and they tend to be in the
range of 200-xxx-xxxx.  PAT]
