Not only that, but that the instructions all went through before the connection was forcibly closed. Normally, just navigating the phone “maze” would have used up all Finn’s time!
“Press 1 for english. If you know your party’s extenstion, you may enter it now… Please hold “
If you know your parties’ extension, please dial the square root of 81, followed by the first 10 digits of pi, followed by the extension number. Then play ‘mary had a little lamb’ on the keypad, then press pound.

what’s more worrysome is that is that he is getting a GPS position through a inter-dimensional portal, which is not a good guarantee of accuracy…
Well, I think the portal spell is supposed to directly link the two regions of space, which should mean that the signals should come through intact.
