Calling Number Announcement Numbers
23 July 1993
This is a list of known ANAC codes in use, primarily in North America
and Australia, though international contributions are welcome.
An ANAC (Automatic Number Announcement Code) is used to identify the
calling number. This is handy when there are many lines, and it's
uncertain which line is which.
In many cases there is a short (1/10th second) dual tone, then a
female synthesised voice which reads off the calling phone number. In
some other cases, there is no initial dual tone, but just the voice
readout.
If your area is not listed, one of the codes listed for another area
may work, especially if from a related company's territory (eg.
another state served by the same regional telephone company). If a
code like 200.xxx.xxxx or 958 or an N11 code (*not* 411 or 911)
doesn't work, check for central office codes that are not used for
regular service elsewhere in the area code and see if that has the
ANAC number.
800 ANI (Automatic Number Identification)
In North America, 1 800 235.1414 was an 800 number that made use of ANI
service. ANI will deliver calling numbers to the destination number where
possible. Other 800 numbers might be possible, but are subject to regional
limitations.

How to use:
Check for your region or area code. Then dial a listed number (more
than one ANAC code could be used in an area code, or different codes
may be used among different telephone companies such as independents).
The code may require prefacing with a 1 in some areas due to equipment
setup (taking care not to start dialing another active area code or
exchange). Be careful in many areas with 211 codes as these are often
used to reach Credit Operator from COCOTs or other situations.
yyyy = Represents a specific series of digits that can change (such as
1111, 1234, 1699, 2350, 8123, etc).

One more data point:
In the 310-649 exchange, 211.2345 gave a series of tones, all sounding
the same. 2346 gave a voice (lousy quality) readback, and 2347 gave
DTMF. (I didn't decode the dtmf.) (Pac Bell territory.)
