Why do phone numbers, in American movies, always begin with 555?

Because any number starting with 555 is not a real telephone number. If they put a random number on there, you know people would try calling it. That's what happened after that "867-5309" song came out. The person with that number had to get a new one.Why do phone numbers, in American movies, always begin with 555?i donno mine starts wiv 04Why do phone numbers, in American movies, always begin with 555?

:DWhy do phone numbers, in American movies, always begin with 555?Because we don't have any real numbers that start with 555, so it's an easy way to make sure you don't accidentally give out a number for people to randomly dial. You remember that crappy song with the number? 867-5309? Imagine if you had that number.

Book_worm got it right.

The prefix 555 is a prefix which doesn't exist except for use in movies and television so as to avoid possibly matching actual numbers such as happened with the 867-5309 song.Why do phone numbers, in American movies, always begin with 555?
I don't know%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;that's just the movies!
NOT BEING ALLOWED TO SMOKE MAY BE THE REASON
its a number they agreed upon.. to not accidentally call people with a real number.... so movies and tv shows stuck with this number...
