The 24 Fan Phone is a phone that belongs to one of the 24 crew members. It first appeared in episode Day 4: 11:00am-12:00pm, 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. However, as of July 14, 2012, the number is no longer operational. Calls made to this number are answered with a generic message stating the number dialed is incorrect.
