Because you may not be calling from a cellphone, but from a land-line.

Nothing about the number displayed on the app means that you have to use the device in your hand to dial it.

edit: actually, it does look like the desktop landing page explicitly suggests that this is what it's for.

I would still just call any random ANAC and have my number read back to me on the call instead of using this service to setup a session online, call the provided number, and then return to the web session to learn my number. There are plenty of well known ANACs, like 1-800-444-4444
