+reepicheep Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Sometimes things have a strange way of coming around. I was reading an RSS feed of Hackaday where the post referenced another blog that mentions the website Phoneswarm. Nothing special so far until I noticed the word "geocachers" in the post. So I followed the links around and found that Phoneswarm posts interesting phone booth numbers that people call and enter what happens. Seems one caller got a group of Geocachers. Here is the log: log by Furbrat for Santa Monica Pier Webcam reepicheep Quote Link to comment

+stormcloud Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have read in the forums that there is at least one geocache where you log the cache via a 1-800 that is attached to a lable on the window of phone booth. The person was saying it cost them about $10 a month. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That is too cool! I tried calling and all the person did was pick up and hang up the phone without talking Quote Link to comment

+Dew Crew Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I found it on the website! i called it for about an hour straight, between 7-8 pacific time. Finally got someone to pick up right when i was going to give up. They were geocaching and one of their caches was to get a picture taken in front of that specific payphone. Lucky for them i was kind enough to take a screenshot and email it to them That is so weird. Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 We used to do this with our security cameras. We would zoom in across the street at the 7-11 and call the phone, talk to whomever answered about whatever, and watch their reactions. Pretty crazy stuff sometimes. Quote Link to comment
