Solarflare: The query seems to have stopped working. After nine years, I'd rather give space for a completely new geocache.

Geocache Description:

This is an educational mystery geocache currently reduced to a micro cache.

There are two ways to solve this puzzle. The primary method reveals the final coordinates directly in the 4.5.7.8.1.3.4.1.4.0.4.9.4.e164.arpa DNS records. How, it's up to you to figure it out.

The alternative method, which might be a lot easier, includes leaving a voice mail message to my SIP/VoIP answering machine at sip:5159490638@proxy.freedigits.net stating your email address and informing that you want the ultimate spoiler for the ENUM Phone Numbering mystery. Download for instance the GizmoPhone client program for your operating system and call the SIP URI above. If you're using a real telephone, note that you'll need a touch tone handset to bypass the telemarketing screening I've turned on by default.

Either way, you should learn something new from the future of your telephone numbers. Please, when you find this one, rehide it carefully.
