The fact is, that all phones make basically the same tones when buttons are pressed. And also, each button makes a different tone, (you can play a half assed song like mary had a little lamb by pressing the different numbers.) If the tones were different on different phones or the same on certain buttons, then you could not dial out a number very well. The computer looks for a certain tone when you press buttons. When it hears a certain tone, it registers the the tone and places it with it's corresponding number. It works very similarly to voice recognition software. Only much less complicated.

The 666 is most likely just a little joke tossed in by tool. Yes, they most likely created the song to mock the technology and idiocy of automated computer systems/people nowadays. I really also doubt that there's a "hidden message." It's not like MAJD a bunch of prophets, trying to get some important message accross. If they were trying to get an important message out, I'm sure they would tell us more straight forward.
