Finding Phone Number to test with

I am not quite sure if this is a question for Stack Overflow, so if you think it's not, please just transfer it somewhere where it fits.

So, for my UI tests, I need 5 unique phone numbers without SMS receving capabilities. I need real, valid phone numbers, but at the same time, I don't want to get into legal trouble. Is there any "list" of such phone numbers I can use just for testing?

Thanks

Solution

  • I always use xyz-555-1212 where xyz is an area code. 555 is a reserved exchange but a valid number.

    You can also use 888-555-1212 which is the toll free directory assistance.

    EDIT - Note that these are US numbers with an implied country code of 1, if that makes a difference.
