Every taxi firm has its own number. Here are prices and numbers for some
of taxi firms:

It is half english site so here is rough translation:
Vienkartinis mokestis už įsėdimą - Payment for sitting into taxi
Už nuvažiuoto kelio 1km mieste - price for 1 km in the town/city
Už nuvažiuoto kelio 1km užmiestyje - price for 1 km in the rural area
Be iškvietimo telefonu 1km - price for 1 km if you just sit into taxi
I have not much experience with taxi in Vilnius but one my colleague
from India had no problem using "Martono taksi" (short mobile number
1422). "Merselita" rings a bell as well for me (phone 1444). Technically
you can use any 14xx combination and you will call taxi but I don't
promise that you will call Taxi that is in Vilnius ;-) Here is list of
14xx serie - check numbers marked with TAXI

I will add soon some photos and information about micro-buses (that
might be good and cheap choice as well).
