 === Payphone Identification Number ===
-As the name suggests, this number is the preferred way to refer to a specific payphone as it does not change, unlike the telephone number. It consists of 10 characters, with the second last always being a letter and the rest being numbers. The first eight digits is all that is needed to uniquely identify a phone, with the first six being an area code for the exchange the phone is connected to. The last two digits identify the type of phone fitted at that location. The vast majority of current payphones are X2. Small numbers of X1, X7, X8, X9 exist, mainly indoors. Y1, Y2, Y7, Y8 and Y9 are even rarer, mainly found in remote communities in WA/NT.
