Here in Baltimore (C&P telephone), 200-212-1212 will tell you.

Does anyone know how universal this is?  Is it just a number C&P made
up for the convenience of their installers?  Perhaps anyone with
caller-id and a voice-synthesizer could provide it.

If you are a subscriber to the AT&T EasyReach 700 service, you can
forward your calls "to the number you are calling from."  The service
will read back that number to you.  You can then abort the call
without actually activating (or changing) the forwarding.

I don't know whether it is ANI or another method which is used to
identify the number you are calling from.  I haven't experimented much
with it yet.
