That is a bad choice for dealing with situations where a web 
form demands a phone number.  000-000-0000 is a valid number 
that leads to yourblocal operator on the first digit. :(

Next time use 555-555-5555 instead.  That number will never be 
assigned.

Same thing with social security numbers, BTW. 555-55-5555 is 
a better choice than 00-000-0000; some webforms won't accept
all zeros.
