The EPF Phone was an award in Club Penguin. All players could receive it when becoming an agent of the Elite Penguin Force. This was originally done by entering the EPF Command Room after passing the EPF test in the Everyday Phoning Facility. From the end of Operation: Blackout until The EPF Rebuild ended in August 2013, the test malfunctioned upon attempting to start it and players were simply granted access to the EPF Command Room after clicking on the telephone in the room and throwing a snowball at the target on the wall.
It was the successor to the Spy Phone, used by Penguin Secret Agency agents, and the Spy Gadget used by EPF agents in the EPF video games. When the EPF Phone was obtained, it replaced the Spy Phone if the player had one.
Although not displayed as a button on the screen, the gold EPF logo at the bottom allowed players to instantly teleport to the EPF Command Room if it was clicked.
Weekly tasks that players could take on, involving going to a specific location and playing a mini-game. Removed on April 5, 2013.

Gadgets
Allowed members to activate the TraceTracker 3000, and non-members to use the TraceTracker 100. These only had a functional purpose during Operation: Hot Sauce, but could be used at any time.
It was revealed at the end of Field-Ops #56 and #57 that the EPF Phone is functional in temperatures as low as 200º Kelvin (-173.15ºC/-819.67ºF), and as high as 3000º Kelvin (2726.85ºC/4940.33ºF).
Glitches[]
On May 11, 2013, the Director of the E.P.F. sent a message to all penguins that said: All agents - upon completion of this week's Field Op, please take some time to enjoy the Holiday Party, and help out with Coins for Change.
On new accounts, after collecting the phone, sometimes the EPF Phone did not appear above the map, but did save to the inventory.
