Sharing of mobile phone numbers [closed]

Post by Papa Bear_Left » 30 April 03 10:00 am

In another topic:
The Rats wrote:I'm only an SMS user, but what do people think of sharing mobile phone numbers. For those days when the cache gods just wont play the game.
I can vouch for the need for the occasional personal contact (having done "Michael" and found a non-functional cache puzzle on "Gilligans Island") and was just lucky to have either mobile email contact or mutual friends to get contact numbers.

As long as the facility isn't abused (like, if you're a shift worker caching at 3am), I think a mobile number for setters of tougher caches is a Good Thing.

None of mine are that tough (yet), but if you want it on record, my mobile number's 0401 699 421 (until August, when it gets an 0011 64 in it...)

Hey, you can always answer desperate pleas with a diabolical laugh and a press of the "hangup" button!

Thanks for picking up this thread and placing it in a new topic Ian.

I have often thought how handy it would be to contact a cache owner when in distress. Having spoken with Bear_Left the other day when he was in a spot of bother after doing all the hard work I think its a good idea and I'm happy to volunteer my number. 0411 635170. And no I'm not a shift worker, I'm a shit worker.

My contact number is 0422426139 and I am a shift sh*t worker :twisted: so guess when I get most of my caching done....

I don't have voice mail so you can always just sms me.

Good idea. If you are ever down south and want to get in touch for any reason, I'm on 0417 495 016. Do you want to keep this just for NSW, or move it to the general comms area and get all the States into sharing?

This is where a DB table of sorts would be handy, or perhaps an extra field on the forum profile?

I certainly could have used maccamob's number at Dry Gully a while back. Mine is 0409 944 463...but I often leave it behind so if I don't answer...!!!

Hmm. I'd have to think about that a bit. Access to the mobile numbers here is for people registered for the Forum (assumed to be cachers), and therefore no problem. Access to the numbers on a WAP site would presumably be much more open to others?

I've moved this topic to the General Chit-Chat section coz I think it's of general interest... Any posts in the NSW section will automatically show up in the General Section and vice-versa

great idea!

we've added mobile phone number to the personal profile screen
just edit your profile as usual and it should work

this is the first time we've added a new field to the database, edit screens and view screens, so please let us know if there are any problems
