How to get Guest ID Magento

Question

How does one get the Guest ID in Magento? I see it in administration under Customers>Guests but how can one print it on a page in the front end?

I found this for regular customers:

<?php
echo Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getId();
?>

This is not working for the first page load. Could you please tell me the reason for this? – VIPIN A ROY Oct 04 '17 at 06:33

This does not work for me on enterprise ver. 1.13.0.2 – activeDev Dec 09 '13 at 13:36
@activeDev Try `zend_debug::dump(Mage::getModel('core/session')->getData())` (*this is just like var_dump*). now check what is the exact call to be made for getting guest id. – Mr_Green Dec 09 '13 at 14:55
