In landline telephony, a plant test number or exchange is a number or group of numbers reserved for use by telephone installers to perform routine tests on an individual telephone line.

Each country uses different codes. BT Linetest Facilities (for example) are available by ringing 17070[3] and a self-service test facility for subscribers is on 0800 800628.[4]

In the North American Numbering Plan, 958-xxxx and +1-NPA-959-xxxx are commonly reserved for local and long-distance test numbers (respectively). A few localities (including Winnipeg) reserve 959 only.[5]
