Really? She'll call Australia??? I'd submit one myself, but all the Telstra payphones here in Adelaide have one digit replaced with an 'X' in the number. Let me know if you have the same problem, and if you manage to figure out the hidden digit if you do.

Whata bout calling your cell phone fromt he payphone? That should show the number of hte payphone inyour caller ID. (Unless for some reason you don't have caller ID on your cellphone)

at least in the U.S., most pay phones show up as "PAY PHONE" on caller ID's instead of a specific number. That's my experience anyway.

I went searching for a payphone today, the ones close by don't accept incomming calls (one of them did, but it was out of order). So I am going up to my school today, since there are payphones all over the place over there.

As for the phone number on them. It was the usual 8 digit number, but the second last number was a letter. Like 9495-45X9. This either corresponds to its number on the phone pad (in the case of X, it would be 9), or some other reason. Telstra does have a payphone help service, if I can't work it out I will be calling them for more information.

So... We email Mel with a number and GPS coords and there could be a new axon where we ask? I'm off to find the nearest payphone...

how about her calling your mobile DM? shes doing it with crew members in the states right?

i would opt for the same, but exams are coming (damm you yr12) and they clash directly with the end of ilb.

so you can picture me sitting in my 3 hour english exam and my phone ringing with 'listen up ensign, your mission is to ....'

im sure she wont mind the international fee, she is all powerfull and all Laughing

if upon giving her you mobile, she still declines, give her your home address in gps and home ph Razz

that should work...

cos im not too sure how the incoming phone calls work with aus pay phones.... if they work at all.

*possibly you could get a crew-member to mention you, thus making her think you private line is secure, dunno*

good luck Smile
