+Team Batpony Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I just had an idea. What if I were to use one of those "free voice mail inbox" services to record a message with the cache coordinates, and then place the voice mail number in a nano or similar in a phone booth, with instructions to call. Would this be allowed? Link to comment

Would this be allowed? You should work with your reviewer, but in theory, yes. You'd have to list it as an Unknown / Mystery / Puzzle, but it can be done. I did something in the same neighborhood (not exactly as you describe, but strong similarities)... I checked with the reviewer ahead of time, the reviewer wasn't sure, so he/she checked with other reviewers, and then came back to me with the go-ahead. But definitely start by talking to your reviewer before setting anything up. Link to comment
+jellis Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We have a cacher who did something similar to that in our area. It was fun. I felt like a spy. His was a multi so we had to go around and collect clues. If you are talking about a real phonebooth, well they are slowly disappearing as more people get wireless/smartphones. Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 have seen it a few times in the PNW that I have found, they were nice caches. No reason why not. Link to comment

Would this be allowed? I seen a video similar to that. If I recall correctly they'd placed a card (or something) there that said to call _________. When the number was called it gave the cords to the next. Link to comment
