The Call Center number is 0800 66 66 40 (UK ONLY).
It was just on the TV... on the advert.
It gives you a list of options, all the executives are listed, and you're able to input the number of the extension you need as well (my bet is we need to work that out).
I hit '1' for general, and got a load of german or french speech, then a bit of music played with something about 'getting on the streets' as a terrible rap.
That's all I had before my phone credit ran out

[Question] Web site differences? I'm just curious. Obes, when you go to the website now, do you get the advert with or without the number? I wouldn't put it past them to only give the number on the website after the show has aired. It could determine by IP which side of the pond we're on

The other options direct you to people's voicemail boxes.
2- Alvar Hanso - lots more foreign language text.. an advert for Monster.com.. then Alvar's voicemail cuts out to a girl saying 'Where is Alvar Hanso? What have they done with him? Who is in charge' then cuts off
3- Thomas (Chief technologist, unavailable for 3 weeks, mentions a 'confidential information line')
4- Hugh MacIntyre, has two messages:
1 from Thomas :- "hugh, thomas, just got the changes, we should go ahead and rename the accelerated remote viewing programme as well.. got to try and put a public face on all this. Call me."
1 from Darla :- "I've got to talk to you about this Sri Lanka thing. It's just not right"
NB - may be paraphrased as my typing is too slow
5- Peter Thompson - his voicemail message cuts out rather amusingly "gimme the phone irene, gimme it" and he is a bit abusive, but doesn't sound like a clue

[TRIVIA] Mathematical Forecasting Initiative text Just something odd. The country and capital names in the blurb are whited out, but not completely. Which African country?

It's Dutch - the company is meant to be in Copenhagen. I might have to try and find where the office is meant to be.

No trout for you my dear. I checked out the site, and there's a login. I tried random login, and got "Access Verification Unexpectedly offline #CERB815"
It looks like logins aren't going to work there right now.
PS (A little bit of trivia)
CERB = Cerberus? (See the map in the hatch)

When i foned the number just now and listened to option 1 for general info there was the standard general info woman BUT a different woman came on and was appealing to me about not to trust the Hanso Foundation and that they lie, a good way to break a lie is to stretch it or something.
I rang back to get the actual phrases down but IT WAS A DIFFERENT MESSAGE second time round!
did anyone else get this message??
ps. This is awesome

Hi just saw the advert, seems pretty cool, I may have to look into the phone number thing later...
Maybe 815 = Flight 815

Wait...you got the password? Want to share with the rest of the class?

Btw, one thing about widmore.com. The whois info says that the registrant is ABC, Inc. but the rest of it seems a bit hinky.

Seems odd that it's through a cheapy company and such. Was the actual url given in the recording? Or just the company name? Unless the url was specifically given, I'd be willing to believe that this is just another fan site that is trying to pass itself off as official.

I did not get the 'plead' message, I got the Dutch one followed by the rapping.
Just tried to enter the site... and nothing new since the advert showed.
