I used to have a pretty large collection of national Time & Temperature phone numbers. Back in the day, I used to call them often, thinking it was cool to hear the time & temps from small towns all over the place, some with weird southern accents and stupid advertisements played beforehand. Here's a small list.
618-465-4545 Alton, Illinois
618-465-2272 Alton, Illinois (another one, by WBGZ radio)
607-277-2772 Ithaca, New York
859-259-2333 Lexington, Kentucky
912-685-8463 Pineland, Georgia
If you've never called the Atomic Clock, you should. It's supposed to be the most accurate in the world and it sounds freaky. Here are the numbers:
303-499-7111 Atomic Clock - Colorado number
808-335-4363 Atomic Clock - Hawaii number

I just found a page (http://www.dmine.com/phworld/sounds/modern/timetemp/) of time and temperature recording numbers. So I'm stealing all their numbers and posting them here. I called quite a few of these, just to make sure they were all still working.

These numbers are useful for practical jokes.
-If a telemarketer calls, tell them you are house sitting at the number they called. Tell them you are interested in their product and have them call you back later at your house. Give them one of these numbers
-At the store I work at you can call an outside line then transfer it to an extension. I wonder if the people in customer service wants to know what time it is in Boston, MA?
-Don't forget about 3-way calling. Your mark will wonder why a time/ temperature number is calling him.

FYI in the "POP CORN" area codes for time you dial area code+767+ any four digits.
for example, in my locale it it (707) 767 1234 or 1345 or 9846 or any random 4 digits you can think of. I dont know about any other area codes though other than 707 and 415.
EDIT: better explanation: The "Time Lady" has the numbers 707-767-0000 all the way through 707-767-9999
BTW: didn't the lady who did all those recordings die in the past 5 years? so sad.

Isn't the POP CORN service being discontinued? I tried a couple of them in my area and got a bunch random businesses.

303-499-7111 Atomic Clock - Colorado number
I knew that voice sounded familiar!
It is possible to pick that up on a shortwave radio. I used to listen to it 2 or 3 years ago, when my shortwave was still working, in order to find out interesting weather information and to set my clock right every so often when it was a few minutes off :p
I can't remember the frequencies correctly, but I want to say that they're...
5,000Hz
10,000Hz
15,000Hz
20,000Hz
Not necessarily broadcasting on all of the frequencies at one time. They change depending upon which has the best reception.
I think on every hour they broadcast all the information about the frequencies and the time station.
Just for a random little fun fact:
somewhere in-between 7,000Hz and 8,000Hz are some weird data noises and I always wondered what they were. It might be in the 7,700's or the 7,200-'s to 7,400's.
