555 numbers

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.
