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?

I think they are different from phone company to phone company but
what works where i live is 959-9833.
then it reads the phone number your calling from back to you in a
computer automated voice.
cheers

Try 9580 (4 digits)
Or if that does not work, just call your cell phone and the caller ID
will show you what number it is.

In Western NY, dialing 611 does the trick. If I recall, it was 511 in NYC.
Try one of these.

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."
