The thread on the phone number of Time of Day prompted me to start this one (as opposed to tossing this in as a comment there).
Often you will see vans and delivery trucks and even semis on the road with things like “Call 1-800-COMMENT to tell us how we’re doing” or words to that effect.
Using the code on older phones:
2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
A-D-G-J-M-P-T-W
B-E-H-K-N-R-U-X
C-F-I-L-O-S-V-Y
…and realizing you have no Q or Z…
see what amusing numbers you can come up with for the 1-800-XXX-XXXX format.
A couple of obvious ones to serve as examples:
1-800-382-5968
1-800-328-7448
A friend of mine had 666-2868.

2868 is easy enough but is 666 MOM, NON, MOO or just plain old 666?
I would go with 269- if I were doing it. But that’s just me…
My friend’s parents has 474-2273. They said it was 474-CARE; my friend said it was 474-BARF.
Friends living in a college town were awakened at 2 am once by someone who said “did you know your phone number spells BIG-NIPS?”

She claimed it was MOM-AUNT

Reminds of the nun working a crossword and asking her companion, "What’s a four-letter word for “woman”?
The companion: AUNT?
Nun: May I borrow your eraser?
The last 4 of my sister’s cell are 7467 - so I guess she’s a pimp. Her home phone’s last 4 are 2662…
