8-22-08 Question of the day

[OfficerResource.com]

Why do all movies and TV shows use 555 for the first 3 digits of the phone number?

[mack]

Any other numbers would be a real phone number and whoever had the number would get tons of phone calls

[Kate]

I hear Jenna is the main reason why they have to use "555" in the movies!


Jenna, Jenna, who can I turn to?
You give me something I can hold onto
I know you think I'm like the others before

There are no real phone numbers with the digits 555-#### in them.

[Jenna]

This question was too easy!

[mavriktu]

There are no real phone numbers with the digits 555-#### in them.

Actually there used to be one. area code+ 555-1212 was the number for long distance information.

I was wondering when this was going to come up.

I would have posted it myself, but I lost my nerve.

So Jenna, if we call you, will we have a good time?

No wonder I've been getting so many calls!

[2 Blue 4 U]

I think 555 was used even before Jenna.
