1. Chicago, Borders Bookstore, Axon 14:08 PDT:
2. Phone did not ring (It rang in our phones we called from cells, but the phone itself did not ring. I picked up the phone 2-3 times during the hot minute, but only dialtone was my prize)
3. I do not, unless it's still cold by like, Saturday or something. Even then, it won't ring!
4. There are two phones right by the bathrooms, to the right of the cafe. We cased the joint, and there are no other payphones. The coordinates point to the door of Borders, but Grout said the GPS pointed to the ATM in the wall right next to the doors. There's really no other payphones in a reasonable distance from there, it seems.

Burbank, CA, Media Center Mall, 16:03 PDT

There were payphones on three locations near this GPS.
1. Lower Level, just to left of Administration Office.
2. Lower Level, to right of Security office (near Men's Room)
3. Upper Level, nearest outer windows, around corner from Food Court

The lower level payphones never rang.

About thirty seconds before 1603, someone picked up and occupied the upper phone.

I can't get away from work to try again, but here's a strategy for any brave souls. Block the phones for a good couple of minutes before Axon time. Assign a couple of people to each phone, with cellphone communication between them. Good luck!

I'll be going to Billings Location tomorrow. Wish me luck!

GPS coordinate sites have given me an address of 621 Universal Drive. Maps with a point put it in a parking lot of a theater that is listed as 550 Universal Drive. Despite the address oddity, we were convinced that was the correct phone, as it is by itself in the parking lot and there are no other pay phones in the vicinity, not that we could find at least.

It never rang.

It had a dial-tone, though I've no idea if it is able to receive incoming calls. I since checked the GPS coordinates given with the address of the theater itself, and those coordinates match the Bees coordinates until the thousandths place, the third number after the decimal, so I think it is close enough to verify that is indeed the correct phone. Not sure if I'm going back in a couple hours, depends on if I see the axons before me start going hot. Any help? Suggestions?

I found one set of phones a full block away from the GPS location! Because the entire bldg was the same address, I think. So if your phone doesn't ring, be thinking outside the box a bit! If the store and the phone in the lot have the same address it could well be a phone in the store and not the one in the lot!

[BluThundur]

That was my problem though, and why I was worried. The phone is in the parking lot for a movie theater. However, the address of the movie theater is 550, but the address that GPS sites give me for the Bees coordinates is 621. We looked up the road more and didn't see anything promising, and the sattelite pictures from the websites are clearly that parking lot, and right about where the phone is, so....
