Background
709-700-0122 is a telephone number retrieved from Black Oak Lake cemetery on October 4th 2012. The number, when called, played back a series of tones, which lead to the discovery of Named regions and Component drops.
On October 29th 2012 different messages, which are not tones, started to be received on this number. These messages appear to be scrambled voices.

Binary Tones
Since the number was initially found, it played back a series of tones which were found to be overlaid frequencies in multiples of 200Hz (this behavior has ceased). Viewing a spectrograph of a high quality recording it was apparent that 8 bits of binary data per tone were being transmitted(image). These have been transcribed and it appears that the message is similar to the 3323 0A message and has been processed as such.
The first message
User Ymgve noticed that XORing the bytes of data.bin (from 524287677 onward) with the 300-byte payload of the message and a constant value produced a large amount of ASCII characters, He then discovered that \xC0 characters aligned with space-characters from old Drop messages. Thereafter he began to deduce letter replacements and decoded the beginning of the message. User crash_demons continued where he left off to complete the message.

Further messages
Later calls produced more information regarding the "Named regions" and finally a set of coordinates for the locations, which have been named "Component drops" for their association with the messages and the metal components found at them.
FIPS and International Regions
It was discovered that the codes relating to possible international locations matched up with the FIPS Region Code list (http://efele.net/maps/fips-10/data/fips-all.txt), FIPS is an acronym for Federal Information Processing Standard, you can find more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Federal_Information_Processing_Standard
The below are the suspected areas of the next drop sites:
FI11 - Uusimaa, Finland; HK - Hong Kong; JA14 - Ibaraki, Japan
Scrambled messages
On Monday 29th October 2012 we received new messages on this number. The messages contained the message "-to the following system status message" followed by some form of scrambled voices:
- First message is here: http://dialer.otp22.com/2012-10-29%2011-47%20UTC%20-%20709-700-0122%20-%200.wav
- Second message here: http://dialer.otp22.com/2012-10-29%2020-35%20UTC%20-%20709-700-0122%20-%201.wav
- Third message here: http://dialer.otp22.com/2012-10-29%2020-37%20UTC%20-%20709-700-0122%20-%202.wav
While the female voice remains constant, the scrambled voices appear to change with each call. It should be noted that the female voice before the scrambled message appears to be an Asterisk prompt clip named system-status-msg.gsm which says in full "Please listen carefully to the following system status message."
Scramblers replaced with ringing tones
Somewhere between June 5th and June 19th 2013 scramblers on 709-700-0122 were replaced with indefinite ringing tones.

In November 2013 number played happy music
I think i found binary code in happy song on 709 number. Encrypted same way as first message on 709 was (one that ymgve XORed).
HAPPY SONG reminded me on thing we called "ice cram van song" from here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=968126#968126 (vocaroo link here is dead, http://vocaroo.com/i/s0NSo678eHLJ, oldfags please check your HDDs for s0NSo678eHLJ.* and repost.)

Spectro:
(my usual spetro making setup is terribly broken, so i can provide only this spectro from Spectrumlab)
Someone else do proper one in audacity or our spetrogram16
Anyways spectrum is very similar to one from [url=http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=968126#968126 "ice cram van song" spectrogram]

Looks like cipher is the same as it was in First message we decoded from 709

All recordings of happy song are from October 2012! Already solved year and a half ago. Details here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1026668#1026668
