John:
There are threads all over the place on this subject and I am reluctant to start another one. Just use the search option and enter "ANI" and I think you will find plenty of numbers.

John, I believe most of those post have been edited or deleted due to a number of folks believing they don't belong in the open forum. Seems they were being requested by a lot of people who really didn't have a real need to know. It was also believed by some that the reason some are now password protected is due to misuse of the numbers. Having said all that, your profile says you are an installer. If you could elaborate on that maybe we can PM or email you the info. Thanks, Bill

It's been password protected because it's been given out to anybody who asks on the web for the past year at least. To all those who said it's OK to give these numbers out I TOLD YOU SO!
From now on we are going to keep these numbers close to our vests and only given out on a need to know basis.

All this huffing and puffing about using someone else's number to detect. If you are dialing an 800, 888, 877, 866 or 855, SOMEONE, not you, is PAYING for those calls. Would you like to pay for calls of complete strangers who don't even say Thank You.
My goodness, you charge 70, 80, 90, 100 an hour or more and you need to steal a dollar's worth of toll free numbers? Good grief.
You can call your cell phone and not answer it but see the number. If you have no cell signal, you can call someone you know who has caller id at their home or on their cell phone.
A local number used by telco tecks is certainly not a big deal if you can find someone to give it to you.
How would you like to be the holder of an 800 number that someone figured out spelled 1-800-eat-shxx? How would you like to pay the bill or give up the number you've had and customers know.
Really now, are we not above walking off with 3 or 4 cents for detecting a number? Tomorrow is another day and you can start using your cellphone tomorrow.

these number can be found all over the internet. Not posting them here has no effect on keeping them out of the wrong persons hands.
John, search on google. You will find another number that works.

liquidvw, as you stated the number are all over the internet, this board has choosen not to be one of those sources. You will notice an offer to PM or email the info was offered, we are not refusing to help.
Bunnie: Time for a chill pill? No ones questioning you can call your cell, that was not the question.

You don't have to pay anything to call your cell, you don't answer, just look at the screen.
You could what we do, keep a $10 caller ID box in the car, and hook that to any known line and call it, using *82 if they have CID blocking.
I don't think I was screaming above. If we make as much as we are supposed to, do we have to steal a quarter's worth of someone's telcom money?
If you saw someone drop a quarter out of their pocket, would you keep it or would you tell them they dropped something?
When this was first posted I though it would be great, but thinking about it, who would steal a quarter? Who would bother to become a thief for a quarter? The whole thing is absurd.
Who has a right to be upset because the bill payer for an 800 line has spent money to put in codes so he doesn't get cheated out of 3 cents a call?
How many of you would pay a hooker with counterfit money you got for 20 cents on the dollar?
How many of you would be really really PO'd to find out you sold a whole bunch of expensive phones to someone for cash so you didn't have to show it on your books and then were told by the bank it was counterfit? Would you feel baaaad?
If you take some time to think about it, are we not all above this crap of stealing a few minutes here and there off an 800 number CUSTOMER? Its fun to get something for free but karma goes around and if you steal a quarter and someone steals a box of cable from you can't you understand it wasn't the best move you ever made?
If you you can be bought for a quarter, I'll pay it.
