The following excerpt is from Heilig v. Superior Court, 149 Cal.App.3d 978, 197 Cal.Rptr. 371 (Cal. App. 1983):
We there pointed out the making of anonymous obscene telephone calls is a misdemeanor under Penal Code section 653m and concluded the placing of a criminal telephone call invokes the jurisdiction of the California court as calls of that nature are deemed exceptional and subject to special regulation. (Quattrone v. Superior Court (1975) 44 Cal.App.3d 296, 118 Cal.Rptr. 548.)
