555 telephone numbers are a range that, in the USA, have been left aside by the telcos there so that they can be used in film, TV and radio over there. Let's face it, if someone mentions in a film that someone like Brad Pitt's character's number is 324 6754 then there will be those in the audience will try and call that number. For that reason if you ever here a telephone number quoted in an American movie it will be a 555 number that is nobody else's real number.
The above site lists the numbers and what film/program they have been used in and in what context.

"Ah, summer in New York. The season of movies in the park, weekends in the Hamptons, and models standing nearly naked on street corners. For those of you not lucky enough in a town with a Hollister, each summer, the clothing store hires hunky young gentleman and pays them... to stand around and do nothing. Our intrepid reporter dodged the floor manager to ask them about sex, dating, and how it feels to be really, really good-looking."

"It’s always fun to see what famous people looked like before they were famous, and yearbook photos of famous comedians provides an especially interesting insight, because most of the time comedians were mocked or teased as children, causing them to develop the sense of humor that eventually launched their careers."

"Nothing beats watching Apple unveil iPhone hardware at one of their live media events, but some of the concept art created by Apple fans comes pretty close. Case in point: This new video from San Francisco-based 3D animation and digital content studio Aatma, which shows off some amazing features that sadly aren’t very likely for inclusion in a real iPhone."
