So when we call and they ask for our info, we just make up an address but use the cities and area codes you gave us for the rest of it? Do we make up a name too or use our own? And do they have caller ID in congressional offices?

Here's how I do it. These are not phone calls, these are Constituent Message System e-mails. When you click on the link, fill out all the info with your real anme and street address, but give the "local" city, state, and zip.
If they do not require a phone number, don't give a phone number. The "local" info just gets you through any possible local-constituent filter.
If you prefer to do the whole thing with your true address info, that's OK too. But sometimes they filter for "local" and put out-of-state messages at the end of the line, and it's all such a rush, we don't have time to deal with that.
Any more questions?
