What is the phone number you dial to test your phone?

What is the number code that phone installers use to test whether a newly installed phone is working?

  • Answer:

    Most phone companies are now so computerized at the Central Office, that little is done other than a call to see if it works. Check for dial tone, and maybe call the test board. So called 'ringbacks' and other tests are for the most part discontinued. (Actually even when ringbacks were popular, they were different in every city!)There is one or two numbers I can tell you about 1-700-555-4141 to tell you your long distance carrier, (free) and 1-800-444-4444 to confirm your phone number to you!
