The charges could be worded as telephone harassment or telephone mis-use or repeated/obscene phone calls...or harass a course of conduct.

In some states if the harassing calls included threats of violence or property damage the charge could be terroristic threats..

The penalty for harassment by telephone vary from state to state such as $500 fine and/or up to 1 year in jail.
