To type messages, get the first number across and the second number down.

Like T would be 4 across then 1 down.

For space, hold the button for 3 seconds

to send your question, hold for 3 seconds twice. (2 spaces)

Not half bad. I tried a bit but sadly, I wish there was a keyboard shortcut to do the tapping. A little tricky to talk but, fun.

So I was attempting to type in "WHO IS YOUR ENEMY" when my browser froze, sending a whole bunch of garbage characters. I got back, not the usual "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" message for an unrecognized input, but what appears to be another message. however, I can't translate it seeing as the first character is 4/0, which isn't a thing. Any ideas?

the message in question is:
Quote:
4/0HAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE


I'm thinking it's an error, but it's still odd that there was a response other the norm.

There is a whole bunch of stuff on this forum post thats why I have not posted the obvious things. But there is an underlying story here.

Here is a small list of Questions and Responses, we need to get the story out of this so we can figure out more questions, roll up team!!

Go to tapjoint.com/mobile/ it gives you Key 15.

When you tap in "type fourteen" using the encoding of Key 15, you can now use your keyboard to type instead of tap letters in. This should make it easier and faster to try out new questions

Here is what I have so far:
1st message: welcome to the city
Mess up: I dont understand
Mess up: be more specific
Mess up: please rephrase that

I've been trying to follow a few ARGs from the sidelines - haven't had much extra time lately. Anyhow I called the number and this is what I got:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A woman's voice says -
"No one knows anything Mr. Jacobs. No one ever has. That's how it works."

Then a man's voice that is a little harder to understand says something like -
"I believe ----- left a trail of dead bodies of late - per your order."

Then the call ends. I'm not 100% sure about what the guy is saying.
