I used to think that the 555 exchange you always here used in American movies was an entirely bogus exchange and that it wasn 't really ever used in "real life."

But it actually is used. There's one number I use all the time (1-800-555-****.) It's a government number used for ELECTRONIC FEDERAL TAX PAYMENT SYSTEM, or EFTPS Voice Response System for short. That's the only place I've ever known it to be used aside from American TV- or movie-land.
