About GeoDial

Welcome to the ultimate urban exploration adventure, hosted at findapayphone.com.

The Urban Hunt

GeoDial is a nationwide, real-world exploration game that transforms Australia’s network of over 14,000 public payphones into a massive urban exploration map.

Instead of searching for hidden items in the bushes, your goal is to locate physical payphone cabinets, dial into the GeoDial mainframe, and digitally log your discovery. Whether you are walking through your local neighborhood or road-tripping across the outback, there is always a new node waiting to be discovered.

Our Inspiration

GeoDial was heavily inspired by the brilliant concept of Payphone Tag created by Alex (al3x.au). While Payphone Tag focuses on a competitive, faction-based territory capture mechanic, GeoDial was built for players who love the relaxing, completionist thrill of real-world waypoint hunting.

There is no losing territory and no stressful turf wars. Once you find a payphone and log it, that discovery belongs to you forever. It is about the joy of the hunt, exploring new areas, and tracking your personal journey across the map.

How to Play

  1. Find a Target: Open the GeoDial map at findapayphone.com and locate a red dot (an unfound payphone). Tap it to view the cabinet's ID and location details.
  2. Travel to the Payphone: Physically go to the payphone cabinet.
  3. Dial In: Pick up the payphone receiver and dial the GeoDial system number: 02 4072 7205 (Calls from Telstra payphones to standard landlines are free).
  4. Log Your Find: When the automated system answers, punch in your unique 5-Digit PIN using the payphone keypad. If successful, the system will log your find, and the map dot will instantly turn green!
  5. Upload a Photo (Optional): Once a payphone is secured, you can use your smartphone to upload a photo of the cabinet to the map, proving your discovery and helping us build a visual database of the network.
