It may depend on the company. I'd make an agenda and go down the list -- (1) figure out who you want to work for, (2) find out who is in charge of the hiring whom you want to impress. (3), going about the latter, whether they are hiring or not, might depend on each case. Certainly going on the web will help clarify who's in charge. You could even FedEx your resume to the person in charge and then follow up via phone when it should have arrived. "Hi, this is John Smith, and I'm calling for Bernice Bigboss regarding my FedEx?" That may (without dishonesty) get a foot in the door, and then you may be able to speak with Ms. Bigboss directly. It's a thought, anyway...
As a side note, I have been finding more and more that some companies have no telephone contact info on the Web, but if you can find city/state you can call information and get the number. I've had to use this method many a time to get art quickly and to track people down in order to do so. ("Send us e-mail at XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" doesn't always get us anywhere in the time we have...)
