It might vary from area to area, but in Austin, you can get the number you’re calling from by dialing 830.

The operator will also tell you what number you are dialing from if you ask.

I have heard it referred to as the “Iron Maiden” for the female voice that repeats the number. In NYC and on LI, 958 works (ed) and in Westchester county 990 worked. It was especially helpful with pay phones. You could have the other party call you back and save lots of nickels.

What you want is an ANAC (Automatic number announcement circuit) number. They are different by phone company, and the phone companies don’t like to tell people what the numbers are. More information, and lists of numbers that may help you, at tech-faq.com or wikipedia.

I’ve always just buzzed my own mobile phone. I’ve only ever done this in the UK but I’d imagine it’d work pretty much anywhere.
