Well, there were more uses than those two shows. This image shows a few same number captures from this link

and if the link every goes dead, that attached picture and the attached pdf file is all that was of importance on that page.

Awesome!
I wasn't aware of the others..

I saw the rabbit hole but I didn't look that deep into it.

Thanks! I've hit my quota and now I don't need to learn anything else today.

555-2368 was the ultimate "false" number for years. In fact, that was the very number Bell System and Western Electric commonly used on display sets and in advertisements.

Compubit, one of our members, has a Western Electric phone from the "Design Line" series that has a "311-555-2368" dial card. Sure enough, the phone was a display phone for use in a Bell Store.

It's even in this print.

It's on my display model 701 Princess. It came from the seller's attic like this. Sorry for the grainy picture but it's circa 2001 and one of the first digital pictures I ever took.
