1) Please call me at my home number or on my home number.
 
I'd say "at."

Another quirky American/UK thing?
 
Yup. Another quirky American/UK thing. I (from England) am fairly sure that I used to say at. I know that, after seeing a lot of American films (I don't say movies - yet) and TV, and working with American colleagues, I now say on.
 
I'd say "at".
 
Use either one and you`ll be correct. With cell phones, however, it`s "call me on my cell phone."
 
Totally agree there -- call me on my cell phone, call me on my land line, but call me AT this number. (American point of view)
