Austin Smith has eluded you at every turn, but you know that he's
been forced to cache some valuable information for an unknown
accomplice to pick up. In a stroke of luck, you've been able to
determine the number of his pre-paid mobile phone and now have a
record of all his recent calls.
Surely, the location of his cache must be in these transcripts
somewhere!

In each case, the recipient of the call seemed to have no idea
what Smith was saying, and he hung up immediately after making his
cryptic comments. Your people checked the numbers and, while they
appeared to be valid numbers, many of them were for large
corporations or government departments and thus unlikely to be
accomplices waiting on his calls.
Can you solve the puzzle and retrieve the valuables before
Smith's assumed contact beats you to it?
Please don't call the above numbers! They might
well be real, but they won't help you find the cache!
