4	** Alice's number is 555-5555.
5	** Even phone numbers for [[ProductPlacement companies that exist in]] RealLife begin with 555.
6	* '''Downplayed''': 555 is only one of the phone number exchanges used in the show's universe.
7	* '''Justified''': This only occurs [[EverytownAmerica in one particular town]], and only happens to make it easier to remember phone numbers.

26	* '''Defied''': [[LoggingOntoTheFourthWall The producers buy phone numbers for the purpose of safely using them on the show]].

30	* '''Deconstructed''':
31	** Alice tries to use a 555 number when making a ShowWithinAShow. Because [[TechnologyMarchesOn 555 numbers are no longer reserved for fictional use]], however, she soon gets a very angry call from the person who the number actually belongs to.
32	** Alice's phone number is 555-555-5555. She gets a lot of random calls from people who were just bored enough to dial a number that's all fives since her phone number is that simple.
33	* '''Reconstructed''':
34	** Alice instead uses one of the 555 numbers reserved for fictional use.[[note]]555-0100 through 555-0199[[/note]]
35	** Alice gets her number changed to another number that begins with 555, but the other numbers are random, preventing random calls.
