Looking for phone numbers displayed in-game

E

ElTipejoLoco

Does anyone know if and where the phone numbers for Stilwater's Police Dept., Pimps 'R Us, Wardill Airport, ¢ocks, Forgive and Forget's working one, Legal Lee's offices, Rusty's Needle, Spelunkers, the Suicide Hotline, Tee'N'Ay, and Ultor Security can be found in-game? Every other possible phone book entry has a billboard, sign, vehicle decal, and/or lists the phone number in a related Hitman entry (I'm surprised that none of the radio commercials had any).

A few of these numbers also existed in the first game and so I assume they might lack in-game representation because of that (i.e.- to reward returning players for remembering the old phone numbers and choosing to try them), but there's a few that are otherwise completely new that I have to wonder if I'm overlooking something in some secret area or cut-scene somewhere, or if players were just expected to randomly try spelling silly things with the dial pad and then pass it on via word of mouth as appears to have happened (with the exception of Ultor Security, which I assume people might just stumble upon by trying slightly less common US emergency service numbers).

Since I didn't see any phone numbers in The Cutting Room Floor's unused graphics section for SR2 and there's multiple texture replacement pack mods here, I figure the active users here have the highest chance at letting me know whether or not the numbers exist in any capacity in-game, and where they appear if so. I'm hoping none of them are hidden away in random NPC chatter, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's where some of them actually end up being.

While hunting on my own, I took screenshots of the map while hovering over the locations of several of the signs and billboards that feature phone numbers, which I figure might interest whatever user(s) are creating (or recreating?) interactive maps, so feel free to ask me to share those.
 
Here's the phone numbers wiki page for SR1 and SR2.
Here are the phone numbers for SR2 taken straight from GotR's help .txt files (courtesy of IdolNinja):

If you're using GotR, there are more helpful .txt files like this. It's worth having a read through them.
Here are the contents of cell_phone.xtbl. These are the only phone numbers (which aren't cheats) which will work in-game (unless there's some undiscovered hard-coded easter egg number):

I agree. It would be cool to have a map of all (or some of) the billboards though. I have found myself looking for specific adverts in-game before and it can take ages before you find the one you're looking for. Of course there are also the other unique billboards, like those which have your character's face on them, and the ones which used to display real adverts. A project for someone, perhaps...
 
I'm aware what the numbers themselves are- it's the only thing about them that's been documented and spread every which way on the internet (I'd already checked and subsequently posted in that Fandom wiki's article's talk page to no response- the only apparent active user there is obsessing over creating articles for a chronology of events for the original Saints Row that are empty save for template box details that seem more reminiscent of regular Wikipedia civil war skirmish ones than anything else). I even found some non-functioning numbers that aren't listed on said article page.

I'm just trying to see if the specific ones I've listed had a hint anywhere inside the game's own content (or tangential content, if any of the promotional material in official sites or trailers managed to sneak them in) or if the only way to discover them originally would've been through brute force or data-mining (with the aforementioned exception of any phone numbers that are shared from the original Saints Row and presumably were organically discovered in-game there).

I already have the locations of at least one instance of each unique phone number's appearance other than the ones I listed in the original post (some of them are the 'new owner' ones). I wouldn't offer to share screenshots I don't have. I just don't have a pressing interest in remaking maps myself, seeing how the last time interactive maps for the game existed anywhere they were quietly lost due to un-renewed and abandoned websites that used to host them. The Fandom wiki has a severely incomplete attempt at recreating one, but it's so bare that I can only assume interest in it waned as well.
 
Ah, I see. Well, I thought it useful to share the information above anyway since it might be helpful to anyone else reading this thread in future.

I've since found your post over on Fandom. Sorry I can't be of more help. I'll keep my eye out for those numbers you mentioned, and I'll post here if I find anything.
