Just rang Stephen and a real guy answered

nice one bid!!

perhaps we should all start calling or texting - maybe we'd get some sort of response then??!!

That's slightly encouraging - at least he knew what you were talking about after all this time. However, the fact that he cut you off suggests he no longer has a part to play in this. 'You're too late' could mean, 'you're too late, Jon's already croaked it,' or 'you're too late, this lead has been dead for months.' Who knows.....but there's no harm in texting him, I suppose. That way we'll find out if there's still something to be found out from him, and we won't be plaguing the poor bloke with phone calls if there isn't.

Sorry didn't see that other thread, but glad to see that other people are also going through the early clues to see if we've missed anything.

What strikes me is that this Stephen fella's number must be set up just for the game. It doesn't cost much to get a pay as you go phone, and it would make more sense than having some poor guy set up to receive loads of bizarre Jon Harker related calls.

I reckon that he's there to answer the phone now for a purpose. Maybe the right question or password means that he'll reply with something more meaningful than "You're too late mate". Or maybe it was an accident that he didn't have his voicemail on, and so he answered it.

It seems odd that he would be there answering phone calls if he was just an ordinary guy. Surely by now he would have ditched his phone or started answering by sobbing "LEAVE ME ALONE YOU BUNCH OF WEIRDOS!", since I can't possibly be the only person who's called him recently.

I tried Stephen's phone number - it rang and then got to voicemail - pressing # prompted me to enter a pin but 122128 didn't work. i also tried 1366 and had no more luck. The message on his voicemail is still the same as it was back in Jan/Feb. so I would imagine it's possibly still in game.
I then tried to do the same thing with Jon's phone, but pressing hash just cuts the message and you get the beep to start leaving a message, so no pin there.
