Mobile phone masts, when powered, allow survivors to use mobile phones to leave messages for those on their Contacts List. Masts are mounted on the roofs of a variety of buildings.

From outside, a mast without power has the following description: There is a mobile-phone mast on the roof of the building. Setting up and fueling a generator inside the building changes the external description to: On the roof of the building, the lights of a mobile-phone mast blink against the sky.

The masts themselves cannot be reached or attacked directly. A mast is disabled when the generator powering it runs out of fuel or is destroyed.

The Game Statistics page has info on what percentage of the network is currently running; presumably, since there are 100 suburbs in Malton, each mast represents one percent of the total network. The current mobile network coverage percentage is displayed below:

  • Actual Network Coverage: 25%
  • Known Active Masts: 17

Correct as of: 21:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Current Mobile Network Coverage: 59% as of 17:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Mapped Active Network Coverage: 19% as of 17:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC) -- Discrepancy of 40 masts.

Locations

All mast locations have been reported by members of the Wiki community.

The Unofficial Map graphically indicates the locations of buildings with masts.

The Mobile-Phone Mast Information Center has a full list of danger reports, this is a better page is you want to know the status of the buildings, rather than of the masts they contain. The MPM Status Map shows the same information graphically.

To update the status of a mast you should update the Danger Report for the building containing the mast. You can link to the report by clicking the building's name on the sorted list, or by clicking the building's co-ordinates on the map. Change the "mast_status=" line of the danger report according to the definitions provided below. You must sign the report as the timestamp provided in your signature is the same timestamp displayed here to ensure the data is recent.

The following are the working definition for the status chart below:

  • active = Service has been positively confirmed in suburb.
  • nofuel = The presence of a generator has been confirmed, but it is out of fuel.
  • destroyed = The lack of a generator has been confirmed. Fuel and a generator are needed to return the mast to active status.
  • ruined = The mast building is ruined. A toolbox, generator, and fuel will be required to restore the mast to working order.
  • occupied = One or more zombies have taken up residence in the Mast Building. A lot of firepower and maybe some team work will be needed to get the Mast up and running again. Is most likely ruined.
  • inactive = There is no service in the suburb, but for an unknown reason.
  • activeold, nofuelold, destroyedold, ruinedold, occupiedold and inactiveold = Service to the suburb has not been checked in the last 5 days Activeold suburbs are not included in the "mapped active network coverage" at the top of the page.
  • unknown = Service to the suburb has not been checked in the last 10 days. The goal is to have no suburbs in this state

Listen on 27.10 for new status reports. Occasionally tag or pirate-broadcast this url -- http://tinyurl.com/qvew4 -- so that others know to listen and update this list.

At most, a generator fueling a Phone Mast will last five days from the time of fueling. All 'active' masts whose timestamp is more than five days old ought to be reclassified as 'activeold.'

Please note that a bot has been created to take care of marking statuses as 'old' or unknown as necessary. This does not prevent you from changing statuses yourself provided that they have passed the proper 5 or 10 day limit.

Mobile Network Maintenance Teams

Want to maintain phone masts across Malton or just the one in your suburb? Add your group to the list! Include a timestamp so everyone will know if it's up to date. You may copy your entry from previous year to current year if still doing active work on masts.

Active groups going into 2009:

  • Mornington: The Order of the Black Rose is currently keeping an eye on Millington Towers. --Maverick 08:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Past

Older maintenance groups, include date for last known mast activity for history tallying:

I just visited Pennville; they are not active. I found an unoccupied but caded mast building with an old MalTel grafitti in it. Asheets 20:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
  • The Creedy Defense Force has volunteered to maintain mobile phone service in the four subs around the Fort Creedy area. The Creedy Area Network: If no one else can the CDF CAN
  • The ROACH Klips have volunteered to help try and maintain mobile phone service in Roachtown. Any assistance would be welcomed!
I'm at the Yagoton tower now, and it looks abandoned (bad pun ,I know). Seriously, though... there are about 150 infected humans in a 4 block radius of the mast, and no working hospitals. Asheets 16:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • The Warseers are maintaining the Mobile Phone mast in Eastonwood, and will continue to until =][= FURTHER RECORDS PURGED =][=.
  • Haven Radio is currently aiding MalTel in the maintenance of the cell mast in Pashenton. (EDIT: Haven Radio has not been seen anywhere around the mast in weeks, if any groups or people are willing to assist keeping this up, please contact us in Pashenton. Thank you!)
I just was in Osmondville, and found the mast unmanned. Asheets 16:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • OMC helps every mast in malton

Mobile Network Destruction Teams

Want to destroy phone masts across Malton or just the one in your suburb? Add your group to the list! Include a timestamp so everyone will know if it's up to date. You may copy your entry from previous year to current year if still doing active work on masts.

2008

  • Dead Air is working to maintain a level of silence across Malton. 16:00, 10 July 2008 (BST)
  • The Jenova's Witnesses are dedicated to destroying mobile phone masts in an aid to complete their mission.

  • the soft parade has taken up a vendetta against telephone masts everywhere, following the theft of the soft parade's radio frequency at 26.54 by the Mobile Phone Mast Status Report team.
