Clearing Runway 22R at Taxiway G. EWR Ground instructed us to taxi 'G; A; contact Ramp.' I checked the commercially produced airport page and attempted to contact Ramp. After several attempts; LGA Port Authority replied that we were on their frequency. At that point I checked our tailored airport information page and found [the correct] Ramp frequency. When I contacted Ramp on that frequency; Ramp snapped back that we should have contacted them a thousand feet ago. We were still on Taxiway A; had not passed in front of any aircraft exiting the alleyways or ramps; or crossed lines demarking the non-movement area.
A B757-200 flight crew; after landing at EWR failed to contact Ramp Control in what Ramp considered a timely fashion and received a lecture in return.
