Watching a show today on a Las Vegas local TV channel, I > saw a new ad for a law firm. Its number was 400-0000. I > didn't think an office code could end in 00.
How is it pronounced? "702 four million"? "702 ... four-oh-oh ... oh-oh-oh-oh"?
Other examples of N00-0000 numbers:
201-200-0000 New Jersey City University, Jersey City, NJ (fax). 713-800-0000 Vision Consultants, Katy, TXOffice codes in the form N00 seem to be a blessing and a curse -- a blessing because they're easy to remember but a curse because nobody is quite sure how to pronounce them. Nevertheless, there are quite a few of them around. Here are several that I've encountered; I'm sure there are many more.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep a record of them.
