Phone Dial Locks -- How to Beat'em courtesy of the Jolly Roger
|
|
|
|
Have you ever been in an office or somewhere and wanted to make a free phone
|
|
call but some asshole put a lock on the phone to prevent out-going calls? Fret
|
|
no more phellow phreake, for every system can be beaten with a little knowledge!
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to beat this obstacle, first pick the lock, I don't have
|
|
the time to teach locksmithing so we go to the second method which takes
|
|
advantage of telephone electronics.
|
|
|
|
To be as simple as possibnle when you pick up the phone you complete a
|
|
circuit known as a local loop. When you hang up you break the circuit. When
|
|
you dial (pulse) it also breaks the circuit but not long enough to hang up! So
|
|
you can "Push-dial." To do this you >>> RAPIDLY <<< depress the switchhook.
|
|
For example, to dial an operator (and then give her the number you want to call)
|
|
>>> RAPIDLY <<< & >>> EVENLY <<< depress the switchhook 10 times. To dial
|
|
634-1268, depress 6 X'S pause, then 3 X'S, pause, then 4X'S, etc. It takes a
|
|
little practice but you'll get the hang of it. Try practicing with your own #
|
|
so you'll get a busy tone when right. It'll also work on touch-tone(tm) since
|
|
a DTMF line will also accept pulse. Also, never depress the switchhook for
|
|
more than a second or it'll hang up!
|
|
|
|
Finally, remember that you have just as much right to that phone as the
|
|
asshole who put the lock on it!
