- So, you have an enemy who talks behind your back, eh? Or, maybe you just
- would like to "listen" in on your friend's conversations? Well, if you have
- 2 phone lines and call waiting on one of them, you are in luck. (Only one
- problem: your friend must also have call waiting!)
-
- Procedure:
-
- [1] Call up your friend with the phone you want to listen with. When he
- answers call waiting (he's already on the phone, and you are the 2nd
- caller), then you either sit there or say: sorry, I have the wrong #.
-
- [2] Next, you wait until he goes back to the other line (puts you on hold).
-
- [3] Then, pick up your other line and call ->YOUR<- call waiting.
-
- [4] Answer call waiting
-
- [5] Then go back to him. (Answer, and then click back.. Click ->2<- times
- Answer, and go back..)
-
- [6] Hang up your second line
-
- [7] You are now on the line!
-
- [8] Listen and be Q U I E T ! He can hear you!
-
- Techniques I use to prevent noise or confusion:
-
- If you have call forwarding, turn it on and forward calls somewhere
- before you start listening. If a call comes through on your call waiting
- circuit, the people talking (your buddie and his pal) will not hear
- anything, but after you answer call waiting and come back, they will
- hear the other call hang up (two clicks). If you don't have call forwarding,
- I suggest you get it if you are going to make a habit of this, because it
- will become a major pain in the ass. When your call waiting rings, you are
- removed from the "listening" conversation and placed back on his hold
- circuit. In order to get back on, you must answer the phone and wait for
- your party (when you answer the phone, tell the guy you are in a hurry and
- you have to go or you'll call him back later or something) to hang up. When
- he or she hangs up, you will be back on the conversation. Then, one of your
- pals will say: What was that? (because of the clicks).. So, try to use call
- forwarding if you can. Remember: Have fun, and don't abuse it. I am not sure
- about it, because I just discovered it. It is illegal (what isn't these days)
- because it is "invading privacy". I don't know if the phone company just did
- not realize there was a flaw in it, or that was planned for line testing, I
- am not sure. Have fun!
