How do you check where the last call to your home phone came from?

is it *69 or *57
BTW I am on SBC.
I googled and found that SBC charges around $11 for *69
edit: I think I checked the *69 charge for oklahoma business and not residential. http://www01.sbc.com/Products_Services/Business/ProdInfo_1/1,,62--5-1-0,00.html
Anyway, here is how *69 Works
If the line is free, your call will go through. It continues to check the line for up to 30 minutes, and lets you know when it's free with a distinctive ring. Works in most areas, but not for long distance calls.

Business Pricing
Monthly Price: $3.00
Installation Price: $11.00
Call Return is available on a pay-per-use basis at 75 cents per use.

I was not able to find the residential pricing. There will be an installation charge.

*69 on Qwest. It's 95 cents per use, and it caps out at around $7-8 per month, after which point, it's essentially unlimited use.
