- Getting Money out of Pay Phones by the Jolly Roger
-
- I will now share with you my experiences with pay telephones. You will discover
- that it is possible to get money from a pay phone with a minimum of effort.
- Theory: Most pay phones use four wires for the transmission of data and
- codes to the central office. Two of them are used for voice (usually red and
- green), one is a ground, and the last is used with the others for the
- transmission of codes.
- It is with this last wire that you will be working with. On the pay phone that
- I usually did this to, it was colored purple, but most likely will be another
- color.
- What you will do is simply find a pay phone which has exposed wires, such that
- one of them can be disconnected and connected at ease without
- fear of discovery. You will discover that it is usually a good idea to
- have some electrical tape along with you and some tool for cutting this
- tape.
- Through trial and error, you will disconnect one wire at a time starting with
- the wires different than green and red. You do want a dial tone during
- this operation.
- What you want to disconnect is the wire supplying the codes to the telephone
- company so that the pay phone will not get the 'busy' or 'hang-up' command.
- Leave this wire disconnected when you discover it.
- What will happen: Anytime that someone puts any amount of money into the pay
- phone, the deposit will not register with the phone company and it
- will be held in the 'temporary' chamber of the pay phone.
- Then, (a day later or so) you just code back to the phone, reconnect the wire,
- and click the hook a few times and the phone will dump it all out the shute.
- (What is happening is that the 'hangup' code that the phone was not
- receiving due to the wire being disconnected suddenly gets the code and
- dumps its' 'temporary' storage spot.)
- You can make a nice amount of money this way, but remember
- that a repairman will stop by every few times it is reported broken and
- repair it, so check it at least once a day.
- Enjoy and have fun.. Many phones I have done this to, and it works
- well with each..
