Hints

Hint 1

Sometimes you have to take things literally.

Hint 2

Tons of players tried to come up with a phone number based on the name, call on Discord, post phone emojis, ... But no, you really had to call.

Hint 3

Base web recon will get you the phone number.

If you wish, you can contribute more.
