1452945 2018-08-20 05:55:00 I used to be able to use the callback number to ring my phone for a test. The number used to be 137. That no longer works. Does anyone know what the new callback number is? Your help is appreciated. Roscoe (6288)

1452947 2018-08-20 08:12:00 Depends who you with and on what.
Old school copper? Vodafone? Fibre?

Most have a list of this and other numbers on their website....
