I called the Vault-Tec phone number from the Fallout show so you don't have to

Published: December 03, 2025 Reading Time: Approx. 8 mins

In the sixth episode of Prime TV's Fallout series we're treated to a pre-war Galaxy News broadcast hosted by Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins), debonair star of stage and screen. The broadcast takes place deep inside a Vault-Tec Vault, as Howard gives us a tour of model 96-JQ-1164 which has been constructed [[link]] with sturdy three-foot-thick lead casing. As Howard puts it: "Strong enough to keep out the rads… and the Reds."

Wink.

This isn't so much a news broadcast as a sales pitch. Wouldn't [[link]] you like to reserve your spot in a Vault… you know, just in case the world ends tomorrow? Howard charmingly suggests you call Vault-Tec today to purchase your own residence in a Vault, and a phone number appears on the screen.

Uh… nope? Here's what you hear if you call the number. Make sure your sound is up, but not too far up. Loudness warning ahead:

I'm no genius, but something tells me things at Vault-Tec didn't go quite as well as planned. On the other hand, maybe 20 seconds of horrified screaming does constitute an ARG... a literal aaaaargh. 

Maybe it's better to take your chances on the outside. If you are still hoping to reserve your own spot in a Vault, however, here's a ranking of all the Fallout Vaults to help you make your choice.
