When i was younger, i'd used to be able to call (test) the home phone ringer by dail something like 991 or 119 or something like that, and then i hangup the phone. 3 seconds later the phone rings.

how do i do that today i tried many combinations and it deosnt work. has the number changed or something?

Im in W.AHow do you call your own house phone using the same phone?In this day of digital phones , it is harder because the signals travel faster.

Dial your own phone and put it down as soon as your hear the dial attendant's voice starting her spiel %26quot;Im sorry that number is......%26quot;. Put it down and wait for a few seconds, It will ring only twice., but it will ring then turn itself off.

If your telephone is analog it will ring at least three times.

How do you call your own house phone using the same phone?
If you have multiple phones in your house working on 1 number, you will not be able to ring the other phones by dialling your number. However you would still be able to talk to someone in the bedroom when your in the sitting room for e.g. Just pick up both the receivers.



Offcourse if you have multiple phones with two or more numbers in you house, you can make a normal phone call to that phone like you would do to any phone.



Just make sure you don't call 911 accidently!!
It used to be 711. I'm in Texas and in my early thirties-so it wasn't that long ago guys. But you can't dial 711 anymore. Also used to be able to dial 259-and the number but that stopped a couple of years ago. Don't know why and don't know another number, but let me know if you find out!!
i dont think you can call your own phone from the phone because you are engaging the phone by picking it up. why would you try to call yourself anyway?? if its that important, i think you can call like the operator and they will ring you back?! like a wake up call?!
NOOOO you cannot. If you will dial your own number using the same phone, it will give you a busy tone only.

*With computers at this era, I thought people are well educated already, but seem there are still few who remains uneducated, like this kind of quiz.
IMPOSSIBLE unless you have a two line phone.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

why you want to call yourself? you can talk to yourself without a phone right? lol, just kidding
That service was dropped years ago, due to old equipment issues, and some abuse. Every city had it's own numeric code. Nowadays, if an installer needs a callback. he asks the test board to call him back, or uses his cell phone, or clips on to another 'pair' at a terminal locally near your building. Unnecessary.
all you have to do is dial the number and it will call



also if you are calling to check messages if you want to not take the time to see if you have them you press 9 and see is the dial tone changes
