If you made a histogram of random phone numbers that people think up when asked to provide one (when they don't want to) it would be cool to see if there are any patterns too. People with certain numbers are probably less lucky in terms of spam.

I usually provide an old phone number of my own, but with the exchange code replaced by 555.

(For example, if my phone number in 1995 was 123-456-7890, then I provide the fake number 123-555-7890.)
