Should I use at or on before a phone number?
If the phone number is considered something like an address, it seems that we should use at. If the phone number is equivalent to "the phone" or "the line", on would be more appropriate.
Which one is better?
Thanks.

So do I. I often hear "on", but I have no idea where that usage comes from.
So you choose: Call me at 123-4567 or Call me on 123-4567.
Hope you get the calls you want!!
