Common Movie Issue

236 views

Why does everyone in movies leave out the area code when calling someone??? They always only dial 7 digits. What kind of magical world is this where you don’t have to type the area code? I’ve noticed it way too many times on tv.

Because they don’t want people trying to call random numbers they put in the movie. So they don’t bother trying to use real phone numbers.

Its why all hollywood/U.S. TV shows will have 555-####. The 555 isn’t used in any actual phone numbers, so nobody gets called 5 million times when the number is given out by the actors.
