Go to your nearest convenience store. It's got something called a pay phone. Just cough up a quarter, no ID required.

Hmm. Excuse the interruption into your conversation here, but I've signed up (in the past) for long-distance service under an assumed name, on a telephone line that I held in a different assumed name. At least in Cincinnati, OH, the phone company didn't (doesn't?) really care, as long as they had a place to send the bills. When they asked for my SSN, I simply told them I wouldn't give it to them, and offered my date-of-birth - which I lied about. They didn't mind.
