When it comes to phone numbers there's more than just realism to consider - if someone is seen or heard to be dialling a specific valid telephone number there is always a possibility that some lonely or disturbed person will dial it.
There is good cause never to state or show anyone dialling a number which might work from anywhere to somewhere else in the world.
I seem to remember a legend that at one time all telephone numbers seen or quoted in Hollywood films would start with the digits '555...' because no real phone numbers commenced with those digits.
