555 numbers are reserved for the phone system usage (kinda like 127 IP addresses). A few of them are in use by the phone system (ex: 555-1212) but the vast majority are not in use and probably won't be used simply because the phone system doesn't need nearly 1,000 local numbers.

Nearly 1000? You mean exactly 10,000, right? 0000 to 9999.
