Thanks - next time I'm in Embarq territory I might use those :)
The next time you're around Embarq territory, give these a try, too;
959-9003 - Caller-ID name readback
959-9101 - Embarq Privacy-ID service (you can play around with it a bit, and get it to ring you back if you hang up quick enough, or have call waiting)
959-9100 - Trunk noise testing equipment? Blasts loud tones in your ear, each one higher-pitched then the last until it reaches 3100 hz.
It's worth mentioning that while 959 and any last four digits is something that's exclusive to Centel Virginia, these will all route you to your nearest Sprint tandem office to administer the test. It's not like the AT&T numbers, though, where you can call them from anywhere if you have AT&T long distance service, though; I think you have to be specifically calling from an Embarq switch directly to the tandem, meaning you can't do it through a calling card or anything, even if the calling card platform is routing straight to a Sprint tandem you
EDIT: Corrected numbers
EDIT (again): Interestingly enough, the Caller-ID shows up as
SPRINT,PRIVACT
1-434-959-9001
when the Privacy-ID machine rings you back.
