Geocache Description:

*** THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. ***

Be aware, this is a 4-star difficulty cache. It might require some time to complete. Please do not attempt this cache if you can't handle failure.

An ammo box is located somewhere in Memphis, but the coordinates have been hidden on a phone booth in California. To get the coordinates, you must successfully reach someone on the other end and get them to read the coordinates from a sticker placed near the phone. Here is some information that should help you.

The phone is located on a busy street in San Francisco. You can see it here:

Area
     Phone number: (415) 753-9447
     The coordinate digits are printed on a sticker to the upper left of the phone. Also seen here.
    
The sticker looks like this:  
1234567
12345678
     The rest is up to you and the person who answers the phone.

The ammo box is easily accessible, but there may be heavy muggle traffic. Did I mention this is 4-star difficulty? Please do not compromise the hiding place and be sure to rehide the container properly.
