15:35 Wauwatosa, Wisconsin coordinates
- Two payphones within a block, both labelled with "Will not accept incoming calls"
- Don't plan to return, although I'm not sure about the "disabled ringer" spec for "bad" phones.

Location: (40.322501 -80.039045) West Library (Bethel Park), PA
Time: Went after the time since I was at work. I went to just check if there was even a phone there. There was no phone. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The acme actually has it sitting on top of a house.
Why it failed: Wasn't there.
Plan to Return: Don't know. The at the same time tomorrow I work but I may be able to squeeze it in before I leave. Either way I plan to scout the area before hand to check if ANY phones are in the area.
Advice to Others: It's pretty unlikely that there are any phones there and it's also unlikely that anyone else will check since it's in such an odd place.

Failure Reasons to consider

[celina63]

1. Location (time and coordinates): San Diego 17:51 (32.736089 -117.14915)

2. Phone(s) did not ring. There were three possible locations, all not within sight/hearing of each other. Two were covered by folks from the first San Diego (16:59) location and were single phones, the third was a bank of about 4 phones and was covered by a large group of about 30 people. Neither single phone rang, so the other group ran over to where the 30 people were. They claimed to have made the axon hot, but as you can see - still cold. Assumption - either 1.) wrong response and not admitting it, 2.) too noisy to hear ring, or 3.) crank caller - there were reports that the San Diego payphone list had been publisized and people were crank-calling.

3. Plan to return - not sure, depends on day/time. Others who were there might.
4. Any notes for others that might visit the location - the two location we had covered were the phone by the carosel and mini-railroad, the other location was at the Veteran's Center. The bank of phones was near the Veteran's Center, but I'm not sure exactly where.

Portland area: missed axons

[Nightmare Tony]

5:47 pm,. Anaheim, CA
Crowd: about 16, only 23 from Unfiction, 2 lurkers. Rest were Halo fans.
Phones: described in other post, 3 phones, closest one. 2 would ring, 1 would not.

Reason: no phones rang at all. All 3 phones were covered jst in case.
Phone #s (714) 563-0327 (main one to GPS locale)
(714) 778-9083: will NOT ring
(714) 563-0914 rings

Please note that the two that ring will give a loud whistle sound instead of the other person. Both sides get this sort of modem tone.

Reaosn beleived, these may be third party owned payphones Incoming voice calls may be impossible to these 3.

(bummer)
Word would be emergency, if we could have given it.

will be there tomorrow, at least I dont have to leave an hour earlier for it, since its 5 minutes from work.

(as a ps to all who I told about unfiction.com, welcome and have fun!

2. The phone failed to ring, but it's operation had earlier been verified with a cell phone.
3. I plan to go back tomorrow, there are quite a few phones in the area so I'm going to pick up a GPS locater to ensure I have the correct one.
4. We *believe* that it is the pay phone outside the Catacombs Coffehouse on Library Mall, just across from the Memorial Library and right next to the University Bookstore.

Codegroup: eyes

Reason: Phone didn't ring/wrong phone?

We were in a check cashing place with a pay phone. Looked like the right place from the map, no other phones real close. Phone never rang, couldn't test it for incoming calls because the number wasn't listed. There's a Rite Aid nearby someone is going to check out tomorrow.

Codegroup: stupid_cop

Reason: Phone didn't ring/wrong phone?

The coordinates pointed to directly in the middle of the busiest intersection in town. We picked the closest point with phones, an Exxon with two outside. No rings. May scout for additional phones near the intersection tomorrow and later this week.

Location had NOT been scouted by our impromptu party, and we got lost.
I might go out tomorrow before work & try to hit it, but then again, I might sleep in for the 1st time in many days....(it's quite possible others of the group WILL be going)

Also, I know @least TWO locations had the phones stolen...damn axon theives.
