Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept in a standard 5 cubic meter room with an observational window and a wooden table which the object is kept on. A Class D to be assigned to “answering duty” and watched over by an armed guard at all times. Only three Class D personnel are ever assigned to answering duty at a time and cycle shifts every eight hours. During answering duty, they may not leave the room, but are provided a chair and limited access to non-electronic entertainment. The Agent on guard is authorized to use lethal force if Class D on answering duty refuses to answer SCP-XXXX. If Class D on answering duty is killed, then the guard must take his place until another Class D can be brought in.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a ██████ brand flip-phone discovered on █/█/08. SCP-XXXX and is always set to vibrate mode, and all attempts to activate a ringtone have failed. Unlike normal phones, SCP-XXXX has never dropped below 100% battery power, and there is never loss in signal quality regardless of location. Every two (2) hours after the exact moment of being hung up (see Addendum XXXX-02) , SCP-XXXX will vibrate. The caller ID will display “UNAVAILABLE” as it does this. When answered, the caller (henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-01) will be an unknown person who usually does not act abnormal to anyone casually using a phone. It has been suggested that the traits of the subject who answers SCP-XXXX have an effect on SCP-XXXX-01, but this is still inconclusive. Any attempts to trace SCP-XXXX-01 return random locations with no discernable pattern. It is unknown if these locations are truly random or hold some significance.
If a call is missed, the last living person to have answered will begin emitting a quiet ringing noise that grows in volume slowly. If this happens to the Class D on answering duty, the guard watching is advised to leave the room and use assigned earplugs. As the ringing noise grows, it becomes audible from nearby rooms. It is unknown why, but the noise has a negative psychological effect on any person who hears it, leaving them incoherent until given amnesiacs. Due to this, the only known information on this ringing is from audio and video recordings, in which the noise loses any abnormal effects and is merely a loud ringing. As this happens, camera footage has shown the subject emitting the noise to go through a phase of covering their ears, followed by a phase of self-mutilation in the form of clawing at their ears, neck, or arms. The final phase results in profuse bleeding from the eyes and ears, followed by [REDACTED]. If subject is still alive, a single doctor will be sent to euthanize the subject, and Class-C amnesiacs will be administered to any witnesses (See Addendum XXXX-01) and the doctor, and if not a standard cleanup crew will be sent in. In the event a call is missed, the Class D who was on answering duty must be replaced within two hours. If for any reason a Class D cannot be brought in within two hours, the guard assigned to watch over previous Class D will take answering duty until such a time that another Class D can take over again. Any guard found to have failed in doing this will be demoted to permanent answering duty.
Some researchers have theorized the possible events should a call be missed and no living person remains who has answered. Most researchers advise against testing this.

(Dr. █████ is cut off by the sound of the phone vibrating)
D-XXXX-10: What the hell, Doc? This thing isn’t supposed to be ringing so soon.
Dr. █████: Answer it, D-XXXX-10.
(phone vibrates)
D-XXXX-10: Calm your ass, Doc, I was getting to it (D-XXXX-10 answers) Hello?
SCP-XXXX-01: (the voice is deep and male) That was very rude. Please do not do it again.
D-XXXX-10: Wha- (she is interrupted by a high pitched noise from SCP-XXXX, followed by D-XXXX-10 screaming in pain)
(Dr. █████ and Agent ████ cover their ears, only annoyed by the noise, which persists for approximately ten seconds before stopping abruptly)
D-XXXX-10: (loudly) What just happened, Doc? Oh my god, I can’t hear myself! (D-XXXX-10 starts panicking. Noticeable amounts of blood are dripping from her ears).
After spending some time calming D-XXXX-10 down, she is taken off answering duty and given some counseling for her new handicap. Answering duty policy is amended (see Addendum XXXX-01).
Call-XXXX-2734:
Subject: D-XXXX-15: Caucasian female with above-average aggression

(phone vibrates and D-XXXX-27 answers)
D-XXXX-27: Hello?
(no response)
D-XXXX-27: Hello, is anyone there?
(no response)
Dr. █████: Do not hang up.
D-XXXX-27: But nobody is there! This is stupid!
Dr. █████: Your cooperation can only benefit you
(D-XXXX-27 lets out an exasperated sigh and waits for approximately five minutes before SCP-XXXX-01 responds)
SCP-XXXX-01: (the same deep voice as used with D-XXXX-10) Thank you for waiting.
D-XXXX-27: Yeah, well I sure didn’t enjoy the wait [expletive]!
SCP-XXXX-01: Oh, you seem rather rude. I was hoping for a nice conv- (the voice is cut off by D-XXXX-27)
D-XXXX-27: Well if you wanted a nice [expletive] conversation you would have started it six minutes ago you [expletive]!
SCP-XXXX-01: I see. (SCP-XXXX-01 hangs up)
After the test, D-XXXX-27 reported several intense nightmares, and her mental health had lowered due to them. The subject has been put under psychological evaluation and taken off answering duty.
Call-XXXX-4921:
LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED
Addendum XXXX-01: Due to the effects when a call is missed, all Class D’s on answering duty will be housed in soundproofed rooms they are not to leave when not in containment with SCP-XXXX in order to reduce amnesiacs needed for personnel nearby who may hear when the ringing begins.
Addendum XXXX-02: Hanging up on SCP-XXXX-01 results in SCP-XXXX vibrating within thirty seconds. Answering this call results in the deafening of the subject and apparent anger of SCP-XXXX-01. Subject on answering duty is not to hang up on SCP-XXXX-01 under threat of death. Object class redefined to Euclid.
