Question

If I call an 866 number, will they know my phone number?

Answer 1

YES, toll free numbers (800, 866, 877, 888) and toll numbers (900) as well as E911 all use ANI to obtain your telephone number you are calling from, and in many cases the address as well...

give it a try, block your caller ID and call 1-866-my-ani-is and listen in amazement as your number is repeated back to you.... =)

Answer 2

I think your questions is more like "If i have a caller id blocking (I block my caller id info before I dial 800/866/877) number. will they know your number?"

The answer is....YES.....If they have equipt provide them with caller ID info.

Even if you tried to use *67 before you call....

The reason is easy.....THEY pay for the Long distance when you call their 800/866/877/888 number so they have the right to know who call them because they are paying for the Toll charge.....

Answer 3

They will if they have caller ID or itemized billing.
