INTRODUCTION
|
|||
|
|
------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Welcome to WATS!!! WATS is basically an 800 or 900 company exchange
|
|||
|
|
ownership definer. It is VERY similar to the '800' reverse directory
|
|||
|
|
option off of my old program 'Phreak Tools.' However, this version is
|
|||
|
|
command line driven, much like my last program 'CNA Finder v2.0'. This
|
|||
|
|
program has been written under Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 and uses full optimization
|
|||
|
|
for speed of use. WATS is very well behaved, so don't fear its use under a
|
|||
|
|
multitasking / DOS shell environment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
800 BACKGROUND
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Bell System offered some of the first 'collect' calls to numbers
|
|||
|
|
under the 'ZENITH' program. To place a collect call to a party which has
|
|||
|
|
been designated a 'ZENITH' (Today it would be a normal 800 WATS-line)
|
|||
|
|
telephone number, the caller would dial the operator and give her a
|
|||
|
|
ZENITH number. Usually the ZENITH numbers were four digits long,
|
|||
|
|
the ones I can remember always ended with x000's. For instance, Northern
|
|||
|
|
States Power's old Power-Line Emergency number was ZENITH 7000. While
|
|||
|
|
ZENITH guaranteed a called parties acceptance of a charge call, it
|
|||
|
|
still required an operator to manually route the call, putting an extra
|
|||
|
|
burden on the telephone system (yeah right, it MADE jobs!).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But low and behold, a better way of dialing collect was devised,
|
|||
|
|
the 800 WATS areacode. 800 WATS service was made available to the general
|
|||
|
|
public in 1967. At the time, exchanges of WATS numbers were associated with
|
|||
|
|
exact geographic areas. For instance the (800)421-xxxx exchange was routed
|
|||
|
|
to the 213 (now 310) areacode which is Los Angeles California. However,
|
|||
|
|
using this type of routing calls proved to be bamb00zled, because for each
|
|||
|
|
areacode, they needed an 800 exchange.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But after 15 years of scratching Ma'Bells head they decided to change
|
|||
|
|
the way 800 service was set up. In 1982, a computer database was setup to
|
|||
|
|
match the number called to its corresponding set of routing instructions.
|
|||
|
|
Allowing overflow traffic on one companies WATS line to be routed to
|
|||
|
|
another office location of the same company. At the time, this was an
|
|||
|
|
engineering marvel, and Bellcore patted their heads and scratched their
|
|||
|
|
tummys for many days, but possibly not in that order.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In 1984 after the breakup of the Bell System, Bell's research and
|
|||
|
|
development labs 'BELLCORE' assumed the allocation of 800 exchanges.
|
|||
|
|
Then in 1986, Bellcore FROZE all but 35 of AT&T's 800 exchanges.
|
|||
|
|
The frozen exchanges could not be assigned unless AT&T demonstrated that
|
|||
|
|
70% of all its exchanges were being used. Since 1986, Bellcore has
|
|||
|
|
unfrozen quite a few exchanges to supply the demand of the booming WATS
|
|||
|
|
market. In the 'WATS' program, 65 of AT&T's 800 exchanges are shown as
|
|||
|
|
'assignable' and 116 exchanges are shown as 'frozen'. Those two numbers
|
|||
|
|
correspond to the original 181 geographic exchanges that were in effect
|
|||
|
|
in 1982.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In 1987, Microwave Communications Inc. (MCI) became the first WATS
|
|||
|
|
carrier to directly compete with AT&T in that market. Since then
|
|||
|
|
many companies from US Sprint to Joe Shmo' and his sister Ho, have started
|
|||
|
|
their own WATS service. Currently, companies wanting to offer 800 service
|
|||
|
|
are assigned an exchange by Bellcore. For instance, if you were to dial
|
|||
|
|
(800)286-xxxx it would be routed to the equipment owned by Southern New
|
|||
|
|
England Telephone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mathematically, there are 1000 different exchanges which can be
|
|||
|
|
issued, and there are 10,000 different numbers per exchange. This creates
|
|||
|
|
a grand total of 10 million possible WATS telephone customers. However,
|
|||
|
|
only 80% of those 10 million are 'usable' combinations. Those exchanges
|
|||
|
|
that have been deemed unsuitable by Bellcore are any exchanges that start
|
|||
|
|
with 0 or 1, and 211,311,611, and 911 etc. As of this writing only 180
|
|||
|
|
suitable and assignable exchanges remain at Bellcore's dispensory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Exchanges assigned by Bellcore do not neccesarily have to be in use.
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes companies are assigned WATS exchanges, yet they have not even
|
|||
|
|
begun operations. In other cases, firms may have merged or terminated
|
|||
|
|
operations and their numbers have not been reassigned at publication time.
|
|||
|
|
Some unused exchanges DO NOT appear in the program as even being assigned.
|
|||
|
|
One small detail is that it is possible for a corporation to be assigned an
|
|||
|
|
exchange and use it exclusively for its own use, rather than selling long
|
|||
|
|
distance time on it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
900 BACKGROUND
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The 900 areacode was the first Pay-per-Call / Pay-per-Minute
|
|||
|
|
type of service available to the public. In 1987, the first 900 exchanges
|
|||
|
|
were opened assigned to companies wanting to compete with AT&T. Telesphere
|
|||
|
|
became the first company to offer competing service with AT&T. The assignment
|
|||
|
|
of 900 exchanges is similar to the assignment of 800 exchanges. Because 900
|
|||
|
|
service is still in its infant years (on a Bell scale) not very many exchanges
|
|||
|
|
have been assigned, and those that have been assigned, have not yet begun
|
|||
|
|
service.

INSTRUCTIONS

------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using WATS is simpler than hacking a Unix, even your crippled
|
|||
|
|
grandmother can use it! For instance, I just got a PBX from some k0de d00d
|
|||
|
|
and I want to know the possibilities of getting busted when I call all my
|
|||
|
|
k-rAdIkal phriends to let them know I just got a k0de. So I check out the
|
|||
|
|
PBX number (800)255-8415 (Actually the National Security Agency). Since
|
|||
|
|
its an 800 number, the first argument on the command line is an '8'. The
|
|||
|
|
exchange is 255 and it is the last argument on the command line. You would
|
|||
|
|
type:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||
|
|
[C:\] wats 8 255

|||

Calls placed to (800)255-xxxx are routed through AT&T-C's Assignable equipment.
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
[C:\]
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This means that the 255 exchange is owned by the AT&T Company, and its
|
|||
|
|
assignable. Doesn't need much decipherment does it?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To find out who owns a 900 fuckshop exchange, its basically the same as the
|
|||
|
|
800 search. I take my number (900)468-3825 (900-HOT-FUCK) and:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||

Why you would want this type of 900 information, I do not know. Unless you
|
|||
|
|
were going to social engineer yourself a free phone orgasm. Anyhow, this
|
|||
|
|
information is included anyway...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you ever forget how to run the program just type:
|
|||
|
|
------
|
|||
|
|
[C:\] wats
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And at the prompt and you will get a quick-usage screen which hopefully
|
|||
|
|
will be helpful, if not you must have the IQ of a retarted lineman- Please
|
|||
|
|
go back and review your 3rd grade homework again.
