Default find out your phone number by dial several numbers on the phone.

I need to replace a phone line from the NID to my home.
The NID outside my home(5-story) has about 12 phone lines connect to
it.
I don't want to dissconnect my neighbour's phone line when replacing
it.

Last week, when verizon(NY) came to my workplace and did some repair.
I saw them just connect a test tool and dial several numbers on the
phone to retrieve the number that belong to that line.
I saw they also successfully retrieve it using a regular phone.

Does anyone know what number to press in order to retrieve the phone
number?


Slightly OT, but when I was a teenager in NYC, there used to be a
number you could call and it would ring your phone back.

My parents hassled me less if I had a valid reason to go out, so I
would dial the number, answer my phone and then tell my parents
something like "That was Russ. We're going bowling. See ya later."
