Just as I got off the site last nite, a song by the name of Lonesome-7-7203 came on, which is by Hackshaw Hawkins, and made me think of a few other phone related music items.  Can anyone else think of some others.

Beechwood-45789
867-5309 (Jenny)
And the Music Group BR-549 of course named after the Junior Samples skit on Hee-Haw. 
And the famous video of Jim Reeves singing "He'll Have to Go"

"On the telephone, I can hear you. And, it seems, my own, that I'm near you.
You're as haunting as can be.. You are ever haunting me....
Even in my dreams you are calling- with a voice that seems so enthralling. And, I love, but, you alone, my lady on the telephone."

Hello Operator

The White Stripes
If you're a long way from home,
Can't sleep at night.
Grab your telephone,
Something just ain't right.

I see Operator by Jim Croce was mentioned, that one came to me right after I posted this.

How about

"Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee"
