If it works, a voice will announce the number. If that doesn't work, try 940-777-7777. 970 works for my exchange and 940-777-7777 for others. However, telcos love to change these numbers, so it's potluck whether it works or not. If you find some other codes, let me know. By the way, the millawatt numbers for almost all exchanges are XXX-1024. This gives you a 1 Khz tone at 0 dBm out of the CO and is good for determining line loss on your loop. > 2.
