7. Why do phone numbers in Hollywood films start with '555'?
It seems it is purely an act of etiquette to avoid inadvertently giving out someone’s phone number. For example, in Bruce Almighty God gives out his number (an actual valid number int he US) in the film and many users got calls asking for God.In fact, only 555-0100 through 555-0199 are now specifically reserved for fictional use, with the other numbers having been released for actual assignment.
