Does anyone know the "ring-back" number for New England Telephone--
specifically, for the (617) 628 exchange?

I'm moving from one Somerville apartment to another about a mile away.
The phone company told me I could have something I never knew existed--
"dual service" where the same phone number serves both apartments for a
few days.

If I'm going to have this neat service, I'd like to be able to use it
to ring one apartment from the other.   (It'll help coordinate the moving
party.)   I know the phone company has a number you can call that will
give you a busy signal;  then you hang up and your own phone rings.
Does anyone know what this number is?
