Unless you have a rotary phone, then it's 1170-###-#### (in my area at least).
(Of course, you have to replace the pound signs with the number...)

I've heard it differs around the country, but you can look it up in your
phone book (it's called "tone block", and it's ususally listed in the front
of the phone book right after it describes call waiting). Or, you can call
the phone company.
