- * How to "steal" local calls from most Payphones *
- *-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*-+-*

- Now to make free local calls, you need a finishing nail. I highly
- recommend "6D E.G. FINISH C/H, 2 INCH" nails. These are about 3/32 of
- an inch in diameter and 2 inches long (of course). You also need a large
- size paper clip. By large I mean they are about 2 inches long
- (FOLDED). Then you unfold the paper clip. Unfold it by taking each piece
- and moving it out 90 degrees. When it is done it should look somewhat
- like this:
-
- /----------\

- Now, on to the neat stuff. What you do, instead of unscrewing the
- glued-on mouthpiece, is insert the nail into the center hole of
- the mouthpiece (where you talk) and push it in with
- pressure or just hammer it in by hitting the nail on something.
- Just DON'T KILL THE MOUTHPIECE! You could damage it
- if you insert the nail too far or at some weird angle. If this
- happens then the other party won't be able to hear what you say.
- You now have a hole in the mouthpiece in which you can easily insert the
- paper clip. So, take out the nail and put in the paper clip.
- Then take the other end of the paper clip and shove it under the rubber
- cord protector at the bottom of the handset (you know, the blue guy...).
- This should end up looking remotely like...like this:
- /----------\ Mouthpiece
- : :
- Paper clip --> : : /
- : /---:---\

- Cord Blue guy
- (The paper clip is shoved under the blue guy to make a good connection
- between the inside of the mouthpiece and the metal cord.)
- Now, dial the number of a local number you wish to call, sayyyy,
- MCI. If everything goes okay, it should ring and not answer with the
- "The Call You Have Made Requires a 20 Cent Deposit" recording. After the
- other end answers the phone, remove the paper clip. It's all that
- simple, see?
- There are a couple problems, however. One is, as I mentioned
- earlier, the mouthpiece not working after you punch it. If this
- happens to you, simply move on to the next payphone. The one you are
- now on is lost. Another problem is that the touch tones won't work
- when the paper clip is in the mouthpiece. There are two ways around this..
- A> Dial the first 6 numbers. This should be done without the paper
- clip making the connection, i.e., one side should not be connected.
- Then connect the paper clip, hold down the last digit, and slowly
- pull the paper clip out at the mouthpiece's end.
- B> Don't use the paper clip at all. Keep the nail in after you punch
- it. Dial the first 6 digits. Before dialing the last digit, touch
- the nail head to the plate on the main body of the phone, the money
- safe thingy..then press the last number. The reason that this method
- is sometimes called clear boxing is because there is
- another type of phone which lets you actually make the call and listen
- to them say "Hello, hello?" but it cuts off the mouthpiece so they
- can't hear you. The Clear Box is used on that to amplify your voice
- signals and send it through the earpiece. If you see how this is
- even slightly similar to the method I have just described up there,
- kindly explain it to ME!! Cause I don't GET IT! Anyways, this DOES
- work on almost all single slot, Dial Tone First payphones (Pacific Bell
- for sure). I do it all the time. This is the least, I STRESS
- *LEAST*, risky form of Phreaking.
-
- I was unable to update this one. From what I recall, it stil worked.
- Look for payfones w/o the little volume button in the upper left of the
- casing. They should be old enough to use.. -Exodus-
