Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 22:03:33 -0500 Subject: more payphones in Charlottesville, VA Sprint payphone in Newcomb Hall (student union building/dining hall) - (804) 972-9106. This is one of those "next generation" phones, with such features as a lighted LCD display and credit card swipe. When you call this phone, it rings very loudly and says on the display "Ringing. Please answer." Payphones in University Hall (basketball arena): (804) 972-9428 - outside gate 27 (804) 972-9411 - outside gate 20 (804) 972-9430 - near main entrance, outside gate 4 Payphones in Observatory Hill Dining Hall: (804) 972-9048 (804) 982-5346 (this automatically connects to the University Police if you try to make an outgoing call, but DOES accept incoming calls) Payphone in lobby of Memorial Gymnasium (one of several workout facilities here at U.Va.) - (804) 972-9876. COCOT in front of Coyote Cards & Gifts, West Main Street: (804) 977-5865 Sprint payphone in front of Baja Bean Cafe, West Main Street: (804) 972-9933 Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 01:07:30 -0500 Subject: Charlottesville, VA payphone numbers Here are some numbers I gathered from payphones and other free "courtesy phones" in public locations around Charlottesville, VA and the University of Virginia. Obviously, feel free to add these to your list (but please don't use my name). Sprint payphone in Tuttle dorm, University of Virginia - (804) 972-9914. This phone is located in the first-year students' mailroom and rings very loudly. Best time to catch someone would be around lunchtime or at 5 p.m., when people are waiting in line at the mail window. "Courtesy phone" in Cauthen dorm, University of Virginia - (804) 982-5930. Located in the lobby of one of the first-year dorms. Someone passing through will usually pick it up after a while. Courtesy phone in Cauthen computer lab, University of Virginia - (804) 982-5014. This phone doesn't ring, but has a flashing red light that notes incoming calls. Not a great chance of having someone answer. Courtesy phone next to the restrooms, 4th floor Clemons library, University of Virginia - (804) 924-7454. Call this phone any time, since Clemons is open 24 hours---if you're looking for a random college student to talk to at 3 a.m., this is the number to dial. Courtesy phones at Newcomb Hall (student center), University of Virginia: 3rd floor, across from Student Council office: (804) 924-6897 3rd floor, near the Ballroom: (804) 924-3772. Last time I checked, these phones had their ringers turned off. Worth a try, though, especially between 9 and 5, when Newcomb is at its busiest. Emergency call boxes in the McCormick Road first-year residence area: (804) 924-7661 - in front of Bonnycastle dorm (804) 924-7636 - behind Echols dorm (804) 924-7600 - in quad between Humphreys and Emmet dorms These are by far the most interesting phones to call at the University of Virginia. When your call goes through, you will hear a set of touch tones. Then, you will be able to hear the sounds of passers-by outside! If you speak into your phone, the same passers-by will be able to hear you loud and clear on the call box speaker. Best times to call are during class change times (between :50 and :00 past the hour), when lots of people are walking by. These call boxes cut off your call after 6 minutes or so. Coming soon: more courtesy phones at the University, plus payphones at the Barracks Road Shopping Center Located outside the Midlothian Wal~Mart between the newspaper stands and the soda machines to the right of the entrance as you are walking from the parking lot. (804) 794-9853 794-9857 I saw these two employees outside doing nothing pertaining to their task of making sure that the carts are removed from the lot. One guy was talking to a group of girls in a car while the other just stood against those sidewalk posts watching the crowd go by. I walked by and on into the store. I found another payphone in the Layaway Dept (804-794-9864) and used my 35cents and called the number outside. The phone rang and was answered by someone outside. He said, "Hello. Wal~Mart parking lot." and I said,"Git them carts in or I'm tellin' yer boss, young man." He said,"OH! Okay." He hung up the phone and I went into the bathroom and laughed my ass off quietly for minute in case someone walked in. That's all :) Thank you! :) Added by Tango-Niner-Niner Located at "Shoney's" in Farmville,VA. Uses either coin or card to operate phone. Has flourescent blue-green alpha-numeric display. Unknown if it accepts calls or not (804) 392 9209 Located at Food Lion in Amelia, Virginia (Outside, near drink machines) (804) 561-5980 in Fort Lee Army Base on the second floor in the Pappa Company (804) 733-9757 Hampden-Sydney College (All-Male college in Southside Virginia) Venable Hall (804) 223-9913 Hampden House Laundry Room (804) 223-9994 Tiger Inn Student Center (804) 223-9945 Winston (804) 223-6495
