Survival Simulation High Score Wins Chicago Dead Drop

It has been (belatedly) revealed that after passing 1000 days on the Survival Simulation game, a secret message from Howard was unlocked, revealing the location of a dead drop in Chicago.

Reddit user helveticatt went to the locker at the HI Chicago hostel and found a Paris bag and a cell phone.

There was one voicemail on the phone from Howard:

Megan, as promised - a phone just for you and me to talk. Keep it hidden so your mother doesn't ruin this too. I put my number into your contacts. Call me as soon as you can. I need to hear your voice, and I gotta get you out of Chicago before everything happens. Your life is in real danger, Radiogirl. But I promise to keep you safe. Call me please. Love, dad.

Here is a recording of the voicemail.

The password to the voicemail was 4813 - the number from the jukebox in the trailer.

The cell phone has one phone number stored in the directory, the number for Dad (Howard).

Unfortunately, the person who found the phone does not want to reveal the number. Hopefully this does not derail the game. This and other shady behavior have resulted in a bit of an uproar in some of the forums... but I digress...

It appears that when you call the number, there is a generic voicemail message, but the name Howard Stambler is spoken by John Goodman:

You're call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system, Howard Stambler is not available. 

UPDATE: Howard's phone number has finally been released: (985) 788-4071. The mailbox is now full, but you can still call the number and hear the outgoing message, The (985) area code is located adjacent to New Orleans.
