I wouldn't be surprised if Oceanic are a made up name used in most films - in the same way that they are always careful to use non-existant phone numbers for those dialled or shown on screen.

yeh 555 thats the one

and everyone answers within a second or two

you never get a film where someone is not there or voicemail kicks in

and if they are engaged the person ringing is in grave danger!

Think we could get a whole thread out of these things:

In a film car chase, a blue-rinsed pensioner in a Micra never pulls out in front of the hero forcing him to travel at 35mph for the next twenty miles...
