About Hi from Phoenix, Arizona, On Mon May 26 2003

BF> I have to ask you about someting I often see in US movies.
BF> They always say 555 before their telephone number and then 4 more
BF> digits. What is 555. A area cod or what. They use it even if it is
BF> San Francisco, LA or NY or is it something that is used only in
BF> movies?

This is so that no one can figure out anyone's phone number 555 is fictitious.

Here is a sort of explanation.
(123) is the area code 456 is the city or area of city prefix 7890 is the
phone number.  Clear as mud huh?

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
