Phone Number From 80s Song 'Jenny' on Auction Block

Published January 14, 2015

It may be the most famous telephone number in popular culture, and it's for sale.

The number from the Tommy Tutone hit song "Jenny" — 867-5309, with the Philadelphia area code 267 — is being auctioned off on eBay.

Many so-called "Jenny" numbers were taken out of service in the early 80s, after the 1982 song prompted a national wave of phony phone calls to the number in various area codes.

The eBay seller is listed as a Jason Kaplan from Southampton, Pa.

After two days, bidding for this one was up to about $700. The auction ends August 4.
