Looked this up after watching Better Call Saul and noticing a phone number in one of the episodes!

      I think that they reserve 55 numbers now for this very reason

    I’ve always hated 555 numbers, because they immediately dispel the illusion. They should just use invalid numbers that have an area code that starts with 1 or, better yet, an exchange code that starts with 1.

    Not sure why they would open these numbers up for access anyway, a lot of PABXes are programmed to recognize the 555 prefix as bogus and just drop the call without even attempting to dial it over national lines

    That’s cool. I didn’t know they were legitimate before.
