I'm glad that they at least use 555- numbers now.  I remember about
ten years ago when a muscial group (the B-52s?) did a song about
someone's phone number.  All over the country, the poor owners of
xxx-xxxx were driven batty by fans just trying out the number to see
if anything would happen.  I'm not sure how they phone company (at
that time it was just Ma Bell) dealt with it.
