Responding to: ???'s previous message

We also call it "number" ... as in #3, meaning "number 3".

Ah, good point - so you do!

I'm actually thinking in terms of one of those automated telephone systems where it says,
"Press '1' for this, '2' for that, '3' for the other, or '#' to exit"

In dutch we call it "hekje" which means small gate.

What would you say in English - in the above context?

Do you use the British version, the American version - or do you say "gate"?
Or something else?
