from wikipedia: hroughout North America, 1-XXX-555-1212 will connect to directory assistance for the specified area code and 1-800-555-1111 is the number used across North America to reach a Bell Canada operator. In 1994, the North American Numbering Plan Administration began accepting applications for nationwide 555 numbers (outside the fictitious 555-01XX range). This would mean that a consumer from any area code could dial a seven-digit number such as 555-TAXI, and the owners of that number could connect the call to a local car service. However, according to a 2003 New York Times article, the desired functionality requires the cooperation of local phone authorities, and most phone companies have been reluctant to cooperate.[7] Despite the fact that the service is virtually unavailable so far, most of the available 555 numbers have already been reserved.[8]
