Suggestion

1-800-PP5-Doodoo. From Dr. Octagon's Dr. Octagonecolygist — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:9200:A050:C9F4:BAD5:4D91:9DDC (talk) 09:07, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fight Club

David Fincher said in the audio commentary that the number you see repeated in the phone bill was the number to the SAG office. I lost my copy, maybe that can be added by someone that has the DVD.--Billy Nair (talk) 00:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Place for examples where non-fictitious numbers were used in media?

I've run into several examples where non-fictitious numbers were used in media leading to issues other than those mentioned here, e.g. at Diary (Alicia Keys song). Would it be useful to construct a list or discussion of these? If so where is the appropriate place? Such a list would only include examples where RSs reported on consequences of the non-fictitious number's use. Dcoetzee 05:59, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded lead and a new section

I expanded the lead and separated the discussion of non-fictitious numbers from the lead into its own section. I also added a German example, a very catchy 1981 song called Skandal im Sperrbezirk. There is an article in German Wikipedia but not in English; anyway, I used the references from the German article as sources. It's even worse than Jenny in that the song says a prostitute named "Rosi" advertises in the daily paper and "everyone" knows her number, 32 16 08. Roches (talk) 15:18, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who? Mike Jones!!!

Mike Jones has had many specific songs where he called out his own phone number and asked people to call him, including his single Back Then. The infamy of the number is still talked about today, with articles such as this here being written about it. I don't understand why you'd remove what I thought was a legitimate contribution to the discussion, especially since other real life examples of musical artists using their own phone numbers, such as the example given by The Time, have a place on this page.
