The term you're looking for is "phone phreak". There's another reference to John Draper (Captain Crunch) early in the movie. When they are playing Scrabble, one of the words is SCRUNCHY - and the S and Y are separated from the rest of the word at first, so you see CRUNCH.
John was also a technical consultant for the film and appears in the documentary on the DVD.
For those who don't have it yet, I definitely recommend getting the DVD for the special features.
