- CELLULAR TELEPHONE PHREAKING PHILE VOL 3 by "The Mad Phone-man"
-
- Now that you have become familiar with the technology of cellular phones
- its time to discuss what you can do with a phone right now.
- Not every system pays attention to a "Roamer" from outside the system as
- closely as they do a local suscriber. In their mad rush to offer cellular as
- "universal" service, meaning you can place a call in any cellular city any-
- where in North America, they fucked up.
- OK, heres the poop...I access say..Cleveland Ohio Cellular 1's Ericcson switch
- and tell them by my "NAM" info that im a roamer from NYNEX in New York City.
- Cleveland will let me make the call, cause it bills back to NYC my number
- of minutes used. If the NYC number is bogus, the call goes thru, and the bill
- doesn't go anywhere. They do know the exchange data for NYC, thats on a chart
- so ya cant tell em yer...555-1212 or such..you must tell em yer a valid roamer
- and the System number (two digits) must match NYC's. This is not too hard to
- figgure out, (call some of their stupid sales idiots some time and see what
- they will let out of the bag)...so now lets see what else you should know.
-
- OK, the system number for the foreign exchange....Nynex in Buffalo is 56,
- Chicago nonwireline is 01, Buffalo Nonwireline is 03, All wirelines are even
- numbers all non-wirelines are odd.
-
- OK, first three digits of the mobile number....Nynex Buffalo- 863 xxxx
- Buffalo Non-wire 861 xxxx, 690 xxxx.
-
- I am sure it wont take much to figgure out the local numbers for your area
- like I said the sales people are fucks and will tell ya anything to
- make a sale.
-
-
- Until the companys get a cellular clearinghouse to validate roamers in real
- time this will work out fine. The prospects of such a clearinghouse are
- good after the companys get done with their bitching at each other.
- But it may be a while before it becomes routine to look up a roamer. There's
- simply too many to look up every time service is wanted.
-
- So, steal a cellphone and his antenna, re-nam it as a roamer and when ya get
- it setup, make copies of the info with different suscriber numbers (the
- last 4 digits) and make free calls till whenever.
-
-
- More to come...."The NOVATEL series phones "
-
- Uncracking the Maintenance code
-
- This is probibaly the best radio to use to shut down
- a cell site completely, it has secret codes in the ctrl
- head that allow you to bypass conventional switching
- protocols.
