In The Great Gatsby, are people really calling from Chicago and Philadelphia, or is this a ruse of Gatsby's to impress his guests?

Concerning The Great Gatsby, one
would need evidence to suggest that the phone calls from Chicago are a ruse.  One would
also want concrete motivation for Gatsby wanting to put on a ruse like
that. 

But in fact, the evidence suggests otherwise.  Most
importantly, Gatsby is as silent about his work as he can be.  In short, he maintains a
low profile.  His profile is so low that critics have argued about what his business
really is.  He is likely a bootlegger, but he downplays his
business. 

Also, Gatsby impresses people through indirect
means:  his lavish parties and his shirts, which he shows Daisy, are two examples. 
Personally, he is quite unassuming and shy.  Pretending to receive business calls to
impress others probably isn't Gatsby's style and is
unnecessary.

Finally, it is reasonable and logical that
Gatsby owns/runs a business of some kind.  His mansion, parties, etc., demonstrate a
more than substantial income.  Therefore, his receiving a phone call or two should not
raise suspicions of his creating a ruse. 

Unless you can
point to some concrete evidence suggesting the phone calls are fake, the idea doesn't
seem to fit the novel.
