coexist Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 but wouldn't you have been curious? by not using a 555 number like in conventional movies, the film is almost sending out an invitation for people to try it out. it's a definate oversight by the film makers.

John Veteran Posted May 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 29, 2003 that's stupid. i hope she loses. true, they should have used a 555 number, but it's so much more realistic :laugh: anyone who tries to call god on a phone is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxBoy Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 the reason they didn't use 555 cause it would be too fake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piepke Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Well i think they should've used it anyway, say you get 20 calls an hour every day, wouldn't u get tired of it? I don't know if i would sue the creators but I can easily understand this person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clide Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I would be mad if that was my number, that has to be a pain in the butt, who wants to be called by 20 idiots an hour? you would have to unplug your phone just to go to sleep. I think the people who have that number do deserve something for the inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piepke Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 So Diata, you wouldn't mind being called by 20 people n hour (every 3 minutes that damn phone rings) even when ur asleep (since not all people live in the same time-zone) This movie probably shown all over the world, can u imagine how long it will take before people will stop calling? This isn't just a name in a movie, it's a phone number, someting most people need every day. The creators of this movie did something wrong, it's their job to solve this problem.

scottyman Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 interesting that they haven't got in trouble with the FCC - I thought it was an agreement that they would always use a non-functional dialling suburban code - where std codes were valid. It was used primarily as a dummy number - the first 3 digits (555) was a permenant routing to directory enquries - as far as I understood, this was still the agreement. Very silly of a studio not to check all possible combinations first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAcOdIn Veteran Posted June 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 2, 2003 I would buy an old 50 sollar 486 or something, buy one of those fancy modems with the built in caller ID, wait for it to log a bunch of thier numbers. And then set each of them up as my ISP's number and have the computer just call each of them over and over again. Since they're not an ISP they'll just get the anoying modem sound at the other end wahaha. Thier only option is to unplug the phone. I'm genius!

Arpit Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 better yet...let the 20 calls/day come...meanwhile play god for money. "your problem will be solved in 7 days if you give me $500 6 days if $750 5 days if $1000 4 days if $1250 ... ..." if the people are stupid enough to call that number, the lady isn't the smartest cookie herself *j/k* :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
