Fan phone
From Wiki 24
The 24 Fan Phone is a phone that belongs to one of the 24 crew members. It first appeared in episode 4x05, on Debbie Pendleton's phone. Viewers noticed it was a valid phone number and began calling it. Some people have been lucky enough to get through and talk to writers, producers, and even the actors from on the set. The phone is normally turned on when production begins and is turned off when it finishes, but currently callers will be directed to a voicemail box.
The phone number is (310) 597-3781, and both the number and a variation of it have made several appearances in the show. During Season 6, the number was used very often for many different phones, causing major discontinuity.
