        Your phone number is

          <value expr="session.telephone.ani"/>

### Explanation

From this example, the application returns the caller's phone number, the phone number that the caller called, and the session id. Let's say the caller called from 234-867-5309 and dialed into 866-123-4567.&#x20;

The application would first say, “Your phone number is 234-867-5309.” Next, the application would say, “You called 866-123-4567.”&#x20;

However, if the caller called into a local number such as 234-123-4567, the application would only return the last 4 digits of the DNIS. In this case, the application would say, “You called 4567.”&#x20;

Finally, for the session id, the application would return a unique id such as “000005;000;1190752725” where the number before the first semicolon is a six character server identifier, the number before the second semicolon is a three digit channel identifier, and the last number is a timestamp of when the channel was ready to receive the next call.
