LOL! My friends in high school did this as well (not to every area code, but to the three DC metro area codes - 202, 703, and 301, since they were calling from the school's payphone). IIRC, they connected on one or two and asked to speak to Jenny. I don't think she was home, though.

Speaking of phone numbers...
The B-52's did a song called 606-0842 and The Time did 777-9311. We used to call them all the time, as well. Also, about 15-20 years ago, one of my favorite freaks in the whole world, Crispin Glover, posted (printed) his home phone number on the back of his spoken-word/poetry album. He was actually the most fun to call because there was a chance he'd pick up the phone!! He never did pick up, but we left messages up the wazoo. I'm sure he regretted putting that number on the LP.
